http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20596
If you have any space left after Bill's, a visit to the Bar du Chocolat on Middle Street is a must. Run by the iconic Brighton confectioners Choccywoccydoodah (Duke Street), the hot chocolate is top rate. For one last gastronomic treat, make sure you book a table at Terre a Terre, one of the top vegetarian restaurants in the country, and one of the few to serve up 'haute cuisine' vegetarian food. After all that indulgence, Sunday morning can be a bracing walk along the seafront towards Hove, past the dejected looking West Pier and towards the ice-cream coloured beach huts.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20596 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20595 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20595 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19548 Just off the seafront.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19548 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19432 I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning a bit of Brighton's history.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19432 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18878 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18878 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18858 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18858 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18757
The Pavilion Gardens Cafe is bang in the centre of town next to the Royal Pavilion and performers often stop by - well recommended for a free and impromptu show.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18757 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18260 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18260 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15897 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15897 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15852 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15852 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15515
There are three contemporary B&Bs on the site and rooms start from £65 per room per night for The Alvia Hotel. We stayed at Brighton Wave, the breakfasts were delicious. I recommend their blueberry pancakes.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15515 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13729 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13729 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13603 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13603 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13135
The tea room is like stepping inside a memorabilia shop, like someone's front room, with an eclectic mixture of decor dedicated to the Royals, with Union Jacks ablaze, a grand piano and pictures of Diana adorning the walls.

The house rules are hilarious (not to be taken too seriously) ie no dunking of biscuits, no clanking of spoons when stirring your tea etc!

The menu is humorous, with items such as "The Duchies Cream Tea, Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth High Tea, The Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales Afternoon Tea" and the unforgetable "The Julie Goodyear High Tea" (aka Corrie's Bet Lynch!) [you get the idea!)

It kind of epitomises Brighton's eclectic campness. Well worth a visit for a fun cream tea.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13135 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12932 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12932 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12801 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12801 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12794 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12794 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12792 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12792 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12128 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12128
