Parts of The Lanes date back to the late 16th Century, when Brighton was a small fishing town called Brighthelmstone. Some alleyways – or twittens as they're known locally – have an even older feel to them. The Cricketers Arms on Black Lion Street, located between the North Laine and the seafront, was built around 1545 and is believed to be the oldest pub in the area. This quirky labyrinthine area is a joy to wander around, with its lovely, independent boutiques, vintage shops, and artisanal eateries. Stroll through cobblestone lanes adorned with charming storefronts, where you can discover everything from unique fashion finds to exquisite, handcrafted jewellery. It's a paradise for shoppers seeking one-of-a-kind treasures. The Lanes offer an unforgettable and quintessentially British experience in a picturesque setting.
