Travel blogger Candace Rardon checks out this artwork of a mermaid frolicking by the Brighton Pier (I’m sure Candace’s shot is much better than mine!) This piece was hidden down a side alley but can’t help but catch the eye of passing tourists.
Every shop has it’s own unique look and candy colour. Trainers hanging from the phone lines gives the impression that a good time has been had. Look out for Starfish on Gardner Street if you have a penchant for vintage clothing and the Oxfam book shop on Kensington Gardens for a printed treat!
And then we have Pompoko. I have it on good authority from a Brighton resident (that’s you @Travelwithamate) that this is the BEST place to get Dim Sum in Brighton and possibly the whole world! It certainly seemed packed with locals whenever I passed – always a good sign.
So it seems Brighton is not your traditional British seaside town. I’m already planning my next sojourn there from the city!
