Emergency maintenance is where there is a risk of damage to the fabric of the property or to life.

North Laine Guide

Best pub

The Dorset. It’s a great all-rounder. The food is decent, the staff are friendly and it’s a great place to settle in on an afternoon and watch the world go by. It also worth keeping a lookout for their live music nights.

Best place to eat

Isaac At is the new kid on the Brighton culinary block and is fully deserving of the rave reviews. For something more established it would be wrong not to mention the legend that is the Chilli Pickle – truly exceptional Indian cuisine.

Best thing to see or do

Possibly a wine tasting at Ten Green Bottles, or a show at the Theatre Royal, or visit a pop-up art exhibition at the Jubilee Library, or rummage round Snoopers Paradise… Let’s face it, this is North Laine in Brighton, there is no shortage of things to see or do.

Best Kept Secret

Don’t just stick to the main streets in North Laine. Some of the side streets house some real gems, take Upper Gardner Street for example, along there you’ll find a smashing restaurant in Silo, and a handful of the best antique shops and flea markets.

Reason to live there

City centre living is the real key here. Right slap bang in the middle of one of one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Restaurants, bars, theatres and music venues are all on your doorstep and there is a choice of homes to match. Trendy loft apartments, purpose-built flats, and period cottages can all be found in the area.
