It's about 2 hours (one way) from London by bus.
The pier (http://www.brightonpier.co.uk) is a good place for taking photos of seagulls and people on jetski etc :)

Olly thats a great picture, I'm sure the guy on the jet ski would love to have it.

Great photos Olly !!!I like Brighton,i have many photos taken with the film camera at the beach and the pier,inside and outside.

That jetski photo rocks!! I showed it to a friend of mine who has a jetski (and incidentially the same camera and lens as you) and he loved it :D

The jetski photo was great. It's a great action shot. :)

I uploaded two more action photos :)
