About this tour
This call walks the length of a Victorian pleasure pier as the light fades and its own lights come on. You see the full structure from the entrance first, then the view back at the city from its far end. I explain how a wooden and iron structure has lasted this long standing directly over the sea.
We walk the length of the pier as the sky changes colour, taking live questions the whole way rather than rushing to the end. A short note on the pier's age follows by message after the call.
This suits anyone who wants a classic, photogenic seaside session. It also works well as an easy first call for a first visit to the city.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Brighton before heading out.
-
The pier entrance 21 min
The camera looks down the full length of the Victorian pier as the lights begin to switch on, and I explain roughly when the structure was built and how it has survived so long over open water.
-
The end of the pier 21 min
You see the view back toward the seafront from the far end, and I point out how the skyline has changed since the pier first opened.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Brighton: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Fresh seafood platters and Hanover, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
