I sometimes go running in Preston Park, which is only a 10 min walk away and Brighton's largest urban park. If you fancy a stroll or just a big space where to play ballgames that's where I would go!

The Duke of York's Picture House- the oldest cinema in Britain (yes, please!) and simply the most beautiful and friendly independent cinema I know... just down the road! Worth a visit for Film lovers and/ or on rainy days

Food Scene
Many times awarded the best breakfast in Brighton (my personal second favourite after Billie's). It does excellent hashes and English breakfasts. Informal and colourful setting. Book to avoid disappointment!
Only a minute (or 90seconds) from the flat :)

This gastro-pub, in my humble and French opinion, does the best food in Brighton (still within pub food price). It also has good selection of beers and wine. It is a small space, where it never fails to feel so mellow. People are very easy-going so it almost feels like being home. Would highly recommend. Book to avoid disappointment.

If you like Thai food, this is where you should head to! Family-run authentic Thai food- delicious, and it's BYO drinks!
The place is very nicely/ quirky decorated. Very popular with locals, but not so many tables, so you should book if you want to secure one.

Drinks & Nightlife
One of my favourite pub. It specialises in sausage & mash menu - choose from a wide choice of sausage (vegan/ veggie options available), mash and gravy, all for £9. Also a delicious roast on Sunday. Quirky and unpretentious pub with a dim candle-lit atmosphere.
