Local score
No. 10 of 41 outdoor spots on r/brighton, from 25 locals across 25 threads.
100% would send a mate. Still recommended in 2025.
Consistently named one of Brighton & Hove's most beautiful spots, valued for its Regency architecture and floral clock alongside neighbouring Brunswick Square, sitting in a quiet, residential stretch of central Hove. It also doubles as a landmark for nearby barbers, cafes and shops, though one thread flagged an aggressive beggar known to hang around the area.

What locals say
My favourite places in Brighton/Hove - Clifton Hill + Powis Grove. Beautiful houses. Just have a walk around those roads. Palmeira Square & Brunswick Square The rock gardens at Preston Park - a hidden gem I didn’t know about for…
…grounds. Booth natural history museum is a real quirk of Brighton. For architecture, take a look around the seafront squares of Sussex Square/Lewes Crescent in Kemptown then Brunswick and Adelaide squares further along the front to Hove. There's the floral clock at Palmeira Square and the Windmills at West Blatchington and Green Ridge. Hope you enjoy exploring the surroundings.
Donatellos, Battle of Trafalgar, Prince Albert, Volks Railway, Terra a Terre, Pom Poko, Red Snapper, Komedia, Concorde 2, The Dome, Palmeira Square, seagulls, The Albion. I love Brighton.
…you to The Marina (if only to see the chalk cliffs at low tide on the far side). The i360 if it's not foggy. The Pier for the seafront views (both day and night) The Royal Pavilion (for the culture and history). Head westwards down the esplanade to see Brunswick Square and Palmeira Square (historic architecture) and the beach huts.
