Hmm, the London Brighton thing.... ok Pros n Cons:
London:
Pros: Great nightlife, lots to do, lots of places to stay, lots of venues, easy for continentals as its surrounded by major airports, ITS SOHO
Raymond Revue Bar & Scanty Shops, London Eye, Troccadero Centre, Oxford St / Regent St Shopping, Forbidden Planet, Ann Summers
Cons: Muggings a plenty, easy to get lost, hard to park (and expensive overnight) unless you want you car nicked or to pay congestian charges, London is hard to drive in if you dont know ur way so u need train/bus which means huge taxi fares when u arrive to get where youre going, pickpockets, hostels for one night mean sharring rooms - if you dont know who youre with - fear for your valuables while asleep, Everything is expensive unless you goto a McDonalds or Pizza Hut, Its likly that Knightbridge will be closed off due to some massive pointless demonstration by a group of wheelchairbound iraqi female octagenarians willing to set themselves on fire for peace in the middle east - this makes taxi fares even higher - especially from victoria to soho. double booking (happened to me last year so i had to spend the night next to the themes) - and no affordable alternatives, London grime in general.
Brighton:
Pros: Easy to get to, great view, nice town, Jordan, nightlife, Lots of places to stay, very accessible, affordable, easy to navigate by foot or car, lots to do day or night, women by the metric ton, everything is nr the beach front, affordable parking, no congestion charges, studio is nr the venues, not so hard to get lost.
Cons: Jordan doesnt live there anymore, its harder for continentals to reach as it means bus or train from the airport, u have to use the M25 to reach it, its a LONG way for any1 from the uk, continentals arrive on plane almost there, broken parking barriers.
