Along the East Coast of Brighton, as we turn left from facing the pier, we find a small community of its own. A thriving little hub of shops, coffee outlets and essentials that exists separately to the main part of Brighton. The area gets its name due to an estate from the 1800’s, lived in by Thomas Read Kemp.
The Kemptown area extending along the coast in the East of Brighton is a small community that takes its name from Thomas Read Kemp’s residential estate of the early 19th century. Most of the houses in this area are of the Regency style, with a few examples of Victorian and modern architecture. The center of Brighton is located west of this area historically known as the artists’ district, which is now home to a large gay community and boasts a lively scene of restaurants, pubs, hotels and shops. We highlight the best things to see and do in Kemptown and the surrounding area.
