I can’t help as it’s probably my least favourite city in the UK!
But I do remember an old caff I went to around 2000 that was run by a very grumpy old man who resented his customers. Decent food though. I’m sure it was near the centre and may have had a two tone style decorative motif.
I doubt it’s there any more - edit remembered it was called the Clocktower cafe

If it’s nice weather, it’s a really nice city to mooch around. You could probably do a day just wandering around the lanes, North Laine and the pavilion. North Laine is where most of the independent shops are. There’s also komedia comedy club if you wanted to see what was on there.
There’s some nice bars along the beach if it’s sunny.
The b&bs in kemp town/Madeira drive tend to be the best value. There is a travelodge next to the Brighton centre but it’s a bit of a shithole.
Absolutely do not stay at the Albion hotel, it’s the worst place I’ve ever seen in my life and I took about 30 photos of all the filth and hazards!

I stayed there once off season for a gig at the pavillion and it was fucking freezing and the breakfast was terrible.
Better than the previous time I'd been in Brighton for a gig though, missed the last train back, and had to kip (haha) on the beach (haha) as everything was fully booked, that was in summer and it was fucking cold and uncomfortable and there was no breakfast.
I quite like just looking round Brighton Pavilion tbh. Window shopping in The Lanes and having a pint somewhere is a decent way to pass time too. Fish & chips ofc.

Maybe they’ve done it up since I stayed. We were there for a union conference for 4 days. My sheets and the shower curtain were stained, there was a nail stuck out of the bath panel, leaky taps, walls cracked and flaking. That’s just the bits I can remember.
I complained and they offered me a weekend in the same hotel. My friends had an even worse experience in their Liverpool hotel.

That must be photoshopped - no sand in Brighton. The gulls are totally real though.

Yes but sadly no more Brighton's Victorian SewersReally?!?
Tell me more!
Hang on, is this a serious suggestion?
We went in through a door under the prom, got the health n safety stuff and got taken on a tour where they showed us the architecture, explained what would happen in the event of a torrent in a particular area etc.
and we emerged from a hole in ground about an hour or two later near the pavilion. Have done similar tours in Torquay and somewhere else?
Surprised no one has mentioned the pavilion yet Royal Pavilion & Garden
Driving or public transport?

Shame, sounds good.
Yeah, someone mentioned the Pavilion in passing, I'd forgotten about it. Not so keen on fusty royal stuff personally, but I'd like to see it from outside.
Public transport.

The sewer tour was excellent.
How about a tour of the wind farm? Other operators exist Rampion Offshore Wind Farm – Tours from Brighton Diver

brighton and surrounding patch has a fairly comprehensive bus network (and not bad train network, although trains are thameslink / southern) for some things on the edges of the patch
some of the seasonal services might have ended by late september, but i'd be fairly confident in them updating their website.

Agree since it's really quick and the day return is good value

Anyone know of a campsite, that'll be open in September, within taxi distance of the city centre? Might see if I can borrow a campervan.
