Kemptown

Long associated with LGBT culture, Kemptown centres on lively St. James's Street, where rainbow flags adorn many of the bars, clubs, cafes, and B&Bs. Side streets flanked by Regency-style houses lead down to the seafront. Classic vinyl, vintage fashion, and antiques draw shoppers to quirky boutiques and Brighton Flea Market. The Marlborough Pub & Theatre runs an eclectic programme of LGBT-focused drama and cabaret.
