The apartment is in close proximity to a handful of restaurants, pubs, bars and cafes on both Western Road and the seafront promenade.

The Ginger Pig, Ginger Dog and Ginger Man are a small group of fantastic restaurants across the city that are worth checking out.
A big Waitrose supermarket is a 10 minutes' walk on the corner of Western Road and Montpelier Road, where you will also find one of the best independent supermarkets in Brighton called Taj - which is well worth a visit. A number of other shops and cafes and a pharmacy are all within walking distance.
If shopping is your thing then a 20 minute walk takes you to Churchill Square mall with all the high streets brands where you will be spoilt for choice. Just past here is the vibrant North Laine where you'll find narrow streets full of quirky independent shops. This is a great spot for people watching.
