role.

Sussex University Brighton University JP Morgan Brighton
is a
vibrant city nestling between the English Channel and the South Downs
and only one hour from London. With many fine hotels, lots of
restaurants and attractions that include the Lanes (antiques and
boutiques), the North Lanes (alternative independent shops), the Royal
Pavilion (it's amazing inside and you just have to see the Dragon
holding the central chandelier), Palace Pier (tacky and chavy but still
good fun), and of course the Seafront (ice cream, clubs, pubs, art
galleries, roller blading and lots of pebbles). Further afield you'll
find Lewes (an old market town with a Castle and antique shops) or the
South Downs at Seven Sisters Country Park (an area of outstanding
natural beauty and that is not an exaggeration).
This
is a great opportunity to visit us in Brighton to celebrate 50 years of
the BCS and take in some shopping, dining and walking on the Downs or
by the sea. Peter's favourite eateries in central Brighton and Hove:
