The Lanes

Se você nunca foi a Brighton, se perder pelas Lanes (ruelas da época medieval) é obrigatório. Restaurantes originais de todos os tipos, geralmente pequenos e aconchegantes estão por lá. Lojas tão interessantes quanto estão por lá também. Vale a pena entrar nas Lanes e ver onde vai parar. Uma coisa ruim para os brasileiros é que as lojas na Inglaterra costumam fechar cedo, por volta das 17h já está quase tudo fechado e as Lanes ficam vazias.

Brighton is an absolutely wonderful place (if you avoid Churchill Square).
The beautifully unique shops, smiling shop workers, graffiti’d walls, random bikes on walls, and lovely window installations as well as the wafts of incense sticks as you walk around. This place is so instagramable that you will need to bring a charged battery pack if you plan on being here all day.
There is so much jewellery to look at in these parts, in fact I went to The Lanes to choose my engagement ring. Everything from custom to vintage is in the windows just waiting for you to try on.

Definitely worth a visit every time you go to Brighton! It keeps reminding me why I work harder! The diamonds on show is especially beautiful! I love window shopping here!

Walking around the lanes is a favorite pass time for pretty much everyone in Brighton. It is really beautiful, especially at night when its all lit up (and during xmas!). However if you are trying to get down there on a sunny Saturday it does literally turn into carnage and as someone who can’t stand crowds that gets a bit much.
None the less, still an awesome place to visit.

Walking around this area is a great tourist spot, lots of unique stores and restaurants to check out. The Lanes can get pretty narrow and it reminds me of alleyways in Asia. At night, some parts of The Lane are lit up and it’s really pretty. This is a nice place to stroll around and window shop!

You get some little gems down the lanes, general gift shops, cultured clothing and lovely little café’s.
However I’m really not the type of person that likes to walk in a crowd and queue just to get out of a pathway. Go on a weekday morning. It also irritates me to see so much merchandise with a cannabis leaf on it, and having to march so slowly through so many smokers.
Given my choice, I’d rather go to a large shopping centre.

My favourite area of Brighton, the Lanes. so beautiful, nice shops, small streets with a lot of people passing by. I always enjoy for going for a walk in the lanes during the day. There are many nice shops and many coffee shops as well. The chilled atmosphere of Brighton is definitely in the North Lanes, where you feel a normal human being, far away from the stress of a big city.
I love the Old Lanes as well with all the antique shops. so beautiful.
I think that is the first place that someone should visit in Brighton is the Lanes.

Visiting the Brighton Lanes is essential to fully experience the Brightonians culture. Among the lanes many of businesses can be found from jewellers, bric-​à-​brac, pubs, restaurants all at affordable prices and your guarenteed to found something as there is a place for everyone.

Well, what can be said really It’s a lovely part of town, with wonderful shops, run by very nice people. There is nothing quite like an afternoon down hear aimlessly wandering round finding little treasures, and of course taking the odd break for tea and cakes :)

Isn’t it hard NOT to go through here. There is always something you seem to have missed the last time you went in there. It’s true you can walk around in circles but who cares !! You can most things to eat in there, but I always seem to end up THAT Spanish Tapas Place!!!

This is a must see area of Brighton, when you come. Quirky unusual shops friendly people everywhere, great to people watch in the centre with a latte. North lanes just up and over a main shopping road lovely eateries here. When I go back to Brighton I’ll go again. Pecksniff’s is a wonderful shop with aftershaves, perfumes and toiletries.

Brighton ist eine wunderbare kleine Stadt an der englischen Südküste, die wirklich für jeden etwas zu bieten hat, egal ob Restaurants, Cafés, Bars, Kultur, Meer oder Shopping. In der Innenstadt gibt es einen Bereich, der es sogar schafft, so gut wie dies alles in sich zu vereinen, er wird The Lanes genannt und umfasst ein verwinkelt Netz aus kleinen Gässchen, Fußgängerzonen und schönen engen Straßenabschnitten.
Erreichbarkeit
Wie bereits erwähnt ist der größte Teil von The Lanes Fußgängerzone und für den Verkehrs gesperrt, von daher ist hier, wie fast überall in Brighton eine Anreise zu Fuß oder mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu empfehlen. Rund um den bereich gibt es unzählige Bushaltestellen und auch der Hauptbahnhof Brightons ist nur wenige Minuten Spazierweg entfernt.
Kostenpflichtige Parkplätze stehen am Rand von The Lanes bereit, sind aber in der Regel auch sehr gut besucht.
Flaniereignung
Wenn etwas zum Flanieren geeignet ist, dann sind das die Lanes. Unzählige kleine Geschäfte laden zum Bummeln ein, Restaurants, Cafés und Bars sorgen für das Leibliche Wohl und alles, ohne auf den verkehr zu achten, da der größte Teil verkehrsberuhigt ist.
Samstags schieben sich Menschenmassen durch die Gassen, aber unter der Woche kann man ganz entspannt das Viertel durchwandern.
Es gibt diverse Klamotten-​, Schuh– und Schmuckläden, Buchshops, Haushaltsgeschäfte und, und, undeigentlich sollte hier jeder etwas finden können.
Besonders erwähnenswert sei der Laden von Hotel Chocolate, ein ganz toller Schokoladen-​Laden mit unzähligen Spezialitäten in diversen Preisklassen.
Toll fand ich auch die wunderschönen Pubs, die einem immer wieder begegnen, die zum Teil wirklich tolle Außenfassaden haben.
Und wem alles zu viel ist, der ist mit wenigen Schritten an der Seafront und kann sich dort vom Gewusel der Lanes entspannen.
Budget-​Freundlichkeit
Gemessen an deutschen Verhältnissen sind die Läden sicherlich nicht gerade billig, im herbst stand der Euro aber sehr günstig, so das sich das Shopping durchaus gelohnt hat. Klar, es gibt viele Läden, daher aber auch viel Auswahl und sehr gute Preisvergleichsmöglichkeiten, so dass man schon gut darauf achten kann, nicht zu viel Geld bei einem Bummeln auszugeben!
Die Cafés und Restaurants unterscheiden sich preislich nicht von anderen in Brighton und sind meist immer noch billiger als z.B. in London.
Muss man?
The Lanes sind ein wunderbarer Ort zum Bummeln und Einkaufen und bieten ein überaus vielfältiges Angebot, weshalb ich dort sogar von etwas weiter her zum Shoppen hinfahren würde.
Wer aber in Brighton oder in der Umgebung Urlaub macht, der kommt gar nicht Drumherum, auch den Lanes einen Besuch abzustatten, da sie einfach absolut zentral liegen und alles haben, was das Touristenherz begehrt, inklusive wunderschöner Fotomotive!
Von daher muss man The Lanes einfach besuchen und sich im Getümmel verlieren.

I have been to the lanes in Brighton now for many years and I must say every time I go there I always buy something. It has not really changed at all which I think is a good thing. The jewellery shops are so nice all at different budgets.
I really recommend you to visit the lanes and you will be like me you will come back again and again.

querky.different.windy.funny green smells running up and down it quite a bit: O
you have to walk through these and get a feel of brighton. good record shop. good food.just brill!

There’s something magical on these bendy streets. It’s probably my wonky geography rather than a pavement conspiracy but you’ll notice something new each time you take a footstep.
There’s some amazing art sprayed on the walls around this area with lots of boutique shops covering all sort of fashion tastes.
There’s gadgets to sexy shops as well as lots of independent foody places to unwind and enjoy healthy food from.
There are market stalls at the weekend where people sell mac makeup at a discount as well as all sorts of curios.

I visited The Lanes a few years ago on a trip to Brighton and absolutely loved it. Continuous small lanes of antique shops, jewellery, clothes shops and cafes all intertwined provides a really unique and different day out. Alot of the clothes shops here have quirky, kitsch items that you wont find in many other shops and although I’m not really one for antiques I did find it great to just stop and look in the windows of the antique stores just to see what they had on offer. A lovely place to visit.

The Lanes is one of my fav places to go to shop. Its fall of unique shops from antique to ones selling instruments. Parts of the lanes feels like walking down Diagon alley! There are many good Pubs and cafés in and around the area.
There has never been a time I have gone to Brighton with out looking around the Lanes.

The lanes is actually two different areas split by the North Street which runs up to the clock tower and the churchill square shopping centre. On one side is the Old Lanes where you can find the antique shops and jewellers and is generally a little more old fashioned (although is modernising all the time) than the North Lanes which is about three streets full of unusual shops and delis. The focal point of the North Lanes is Kensington Gardens which is a pedestrian zone and has some lovely restaurants and pubs (try the Kensington Garden Café which has a balcony overlooking the whole street), bookshops and an antique market which has so far survived the modernism.
The whole Lanes is a world away from (although walking distance to) the high street shops of the Churchill Square complex and is a must for anyone visiting Brighton.

The Lanes are lovely, you wander around never knowing where you’re going to end up, but it’s such a maze you’d be hard pressed to find a specific shop with ease !! There are a real mix of shops for all tastes — delis, touristy places, clothes shops, jewellers, pubs It’s crowded at times but you can normally nip down a side street to a quieter part if it gets too bad !

Overpriced and overated — but do have an unmistakable charm that make you forgive them for these failings ! Filled to the brim with jewellers, eateries and gift shops meaning that there is something for everyone (just don’t forget your credit card !)
In summer months they can become busy with tourists — so try and get there early in the day if you can if you want to walk around at leisure.
A must anyone visiting Brighton !

The Lanes is a fantastic place to shop. Original and independent shops, great atmosphere and you can find affordable clothing too. North Lanes is best for clothes and presents, South Lanes for Jewelry and Boutiques.

Barrio típico de Brighton con callejuelas muy estrechas llena de tiendas. está al lado del mar, justo en el centro de Brighton. Es un lugar de obligado paso si visitas Brighton. Están al lado del Brighton pabillion y el pier

I’ve grown up in brighton, some I feel I take the lanes for granted as they are a truly unique and superior shopping experience. The lanes feels and breathes charm and promotes brighton’s urban eco warrior type image. The lanes is a perfect place to pick up a gift or a little oditity that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
All in all, you have to see it to love it :)
