Brighton and the local area
THE UNIVERSITY’S LOCATION The University campus is located at Falmer, on the outskirts of Brighton & Hove, and is just 55 miles (90 km) from London. Frequent trains from central London take as little as 50 minutes to Brighton & Hove, with a quick nine- minute connection to Falmer to reach campus. London Gatwick airport is only 30 minutes from Brighton, and London Heathrow is just over an hour’s drive away. BRIGHTON AND THE WIDER REGION The city of Brighton & Hove has much to offer to both staff and students and provides a quality of life that is hard to match. With a fabulous variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, the city also has a range of good schools and a very tolerant, relaxed atmosphere. The South Downs National Park, historic sites such as the Royal Pavilion, and the beautiful South Coast are within easy reach of the campus, and there is also plenty on offer for nature and history lovers alike. Brighton has a truly diverse cultural scene, with a wealth of theatres, cinemas and galleries. From pre-West End premieres at the Theatre Royal to the variety of experimental fringe productions staged throughout the year, and the Brighton Festival every May, there is plenty on offer. Both Glyndebourne and Chichester, with their own distinctive cultural offerings, are easily accessible. The historic market town of Lewes is also close to campus, and many members of staff choose to live there because of its wide choice of housing and excellent schools.
