The sea smells salty and alive as you step off the promenade and into a city that still insists on being a seaside port. The Palace Pier looms ahead, gulls arguing over chips, while a narrow lane to your right promises a different rhythm — independent cafés, gallery doors slightly ajar, and a resident historian’s voice in your ear. This private, self-guided audio tour puts Brighton in your pocket: Spencer’s narration leads you from pier to pavilion, through Regency crescents and artisan streets, leaving crowds behind because you choose the tempo.
