East of the city centre and stretching as far as Brighton Marina, Kemp Town, Brighton is a flamboyant mix of grand seafront crescents, elegant squares, and a bustling High Street shopping area with a lively village feel. Thomas Read Kemp (1782-1840) took over 30 years to complete the magnificent Kemp Town estate. As a result, Kemp Town soon became one of the most desirable areas of the town and home to many famous residents from Lewis Carrol and Vita Sackville-West to the Sixth Duke of Devonshire.
Once into Kemp Town village, elegant eateries and cosy pubs sit alongside delicious delis and lifestyle shops. Back towards town, check out St James's Street, with its quirky mix of second-hand book stores, interiors, delis and colourful characters. Kemp Town is also home to some of the best bars and pubs, hotels, b&b's and award winning shops in town. Other streets to visit include George Street, just off the bottom of st james's street which has an eclectic mix of shops, Tea Rooms and pubs.
