City

Brighton and Hove

Northern Europe

Brighton and Hove is a city and unitary authority area, ceremonially in East Sussex, England. It combines the seaside resorts of Brighton and Hove with several villages in the district, and is run by Brighton and Hove City Council. Locals generally still regard the two as separate settlements with different identities: Hove is largely residential with its own seafront and town centre around George Street, while Brighton has a higher profile as a popular seaside resort with a significant digital economy and several festivals of national prominence. Together with Worthing and Littlehampton in West Sussex, the two resorts make up the second most populous built-up area of South East England, after South Hampshire.
