Stand on the worn boards of Brighton Pier with wind pushing salt spray against your jacket and the city laid out in a scatter of color behind you. The English Channel pulls at the horizon as gulls wheel; below, the pebble beach meets a promenade of booths and brightly painted huts. A local guide folds the city’s history into each turn—Regency crescents, Victorian pleasure-grounds, and post-war creative beats—so the streets feel like chapters of a lived map.
