brighton: the ideal place for an english study experience
Brighton is the liveliest and most cosmopolitan city on the South coast of England. Surrounded by the sea on one side and the beautuful South Downs to the North of the city, Brighton is just 50 minutes by train to London and 25 minutes by train to Gatwick airport.
The city is famous for its Regency architecture and the exotic Royal Pavilion constructed here at the time of its founding as a resort by King George IV. Brighton is still a popular holiday resort attracting visitors with fashionable shops, galleries, jewellers, a vibrant nightlife and over 600 restaurants and cafes.
Home to a large and thriving artistic community, every May Brighton hosts England's largest arts festival, 'The Brighton Festival', a contemporary celebration of all that's good in British and international performing arts.
Brighton offers the thrill of the pier fun fair, great windsurfing, sailing, and spectator sports such as professional football at Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club.
Spend a little time with us and discover why we believe Brighton is the ideal place for an all-round English study experience.
