History
è |
| |
The land of Brighton has been inhabited
since 3000 BC, but it wasn't until the
arrival of the Saxons who took control of
much of southern England by the 6th century
that foundations for the city were laid. It
suffered many threatening catastrophes such
as the French pillage in 1514 and violent
storms in the early 1700s. However, Brighton
managed to recover every time after each
disaster. The city started to become popular
in the mid-18th century as a seaside resort
with endorsement from George, the Prince of
Wales, and the railway connection between
Brighton and London which opened in 1841
further increased its popularity. Brighton
had its ups and downs after WWII, but
because of its balmy climate, pleasant
atmosphere and nearness to London, the city
continues to develop and still remains one
of the most popular holiday spots today. It
was given a city status in 2001 as part of
the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations.

Geography & Climate
è |
|
|
|
Brighton is situated on the South Coast of
England, about 88 km from London. It faces
Beachy Head to the east and Worthing Point
to the west. Because of its well-connection
with the capital city, it is often described
as "London-by-the-sea". As Brighton's
location is on the southern coast, springs
tend to come earlier than the rest of the
country, with warmer still summer and
pleasantly mild winters which make it a busy
visitor destination all year round. |
