How safe is Brighton?

It’s quite safe, some areas should be avoided when dark and some erratic people should be ignored. It is overall safe. Most people are nice and will stand up for things that don’t look right. When it comes to public transportation there might be some kids screaming but best to ignore unless it gets out of control. The police station is very central and fairly quick to respond.

Generally very safe and friendly. Consistent with most UK cities, you do still need to be wary especially as a woman. So make sure to walk home with a friend at night or get an uber and be careful which areas you visit and stay in.

Brighton is the UK's capital of LGBTQIA, and where many of my European friends have moved to. Full of artists, students, cute dogs, unique and quirky shops, cafes and restaurants. I have walked around at all hours over the years, both with my partner and alone and I've only ever experienced peers complimenting aesthetics or asking directions. You may come across a few unhoused people but they keep to themselves and aren't a danger.

Is Brighton worth visiting?

Solo travel

I went to Brighton alone and I can say that I felt quite safe there. There are many bright lights at night, from the station to the beach. North Laine was my favorite area, there are many cool shops there. I would also recommend the restaurant "We love falafel", absolutely amazing food.
