East of the Palace Pier and continuing along King’s Cliff as far as Black Rock, Kempstown is a desirable and cosmopolitan neighbourhood populated by artists and actors.
Most of Kemptown was built in the Regency and Victorian periods, leaving it with splendid squares, imposing seafront crescents and quirky buildings like the Sassoon Mausoleum, dating to 1892 and now a nightclub.
This part of the city is Brighton’s “gay quarter” and many of the businesses are oriented to the LGBT community.
