Getting to Brighton is Easy

You can easily compare your travel options using Rome2rio but here are our local tips:

By train

Brighton is super easy to get to from central London: we’re less than an hour away by train from London Victoria, with direct trains from London Bridge as well.

If you’re coming from continental Europe, Eurostar is a convenient option as trains travel directly to Brighton from London St Pancras International.

The walk from Brighton train station to the conference venue is only a few minutes and takes you through the centre of the city so you can get your bearings or you can easily get a taxi from right outside the train station.

You can browse and book UK trains online. You can often save money by booking a ticket in advance.

By plane

Our venues are easily accessible by bicycle via the numerous cycle routes all over the city including along the seafront.

By coach

If you’re travelling by long distance coach you’ll be pleased to hear that the Pool Valley coach station is adjacent to our seafront venues.

Getting around Brighton

Once you’re in Brighton you’ll find it’s easy to get around our compact city on foot or in a taxi. There is a taxi rank on West Street, just round the corner from the Brighton Centre or you can hail one of the city’s distinctive white and teal licensed taxis.

There are also plenty of local buses to take you to different parts of the city, along the coast or out into the nearby countryside.
