You’ve heard of Silicon Valley, but what about Silicon Beach? That’s the nickname Brighton has earned, thanks to a booming tech and startup scene. 

Located on the south coast of England, Brighton is a vibrant seaside town. It attracts eight million visitors each year. Now, Brighton has made a name as an innovative and creative business hub.

If you’re considering renting Brighton office space, this article will explore the key features of the city. Plus, you’ll find detailed location guides, to help you find exactly what you need. 

Why are businesses establishing their presence in Brighton? 

Brighton is a sought-after location for businesses, from growing startups to global corporations. Employment in the IT and financial services sectors in Brighton exceeds the national average

It is also home to two respected universities: the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton. These institutions attract young and ambitious talent to the city every year.

Increasing numbers of businesses choose to work from Brighton over London. Office space in London tends to be more expensive, while Brighton offers a cost-effective alternative. 

However, if you need to go to and from London, travelling to Brighton on the train from central London takes less than an hour. Gatwick Airport is only 30 minutes from the coastal hub by train. For commuters by car, road access includes easy links to the A23 and M23.

Startups in Brighton

Lloyds Bank named Brighton the United Kingdom’s startup capital in 2018. That year, 7,635 new businesses launched in the BN postcode.

Brighton is especially popular among fintech companies. Jason Kluver, CEO of Shadow Foundr, chose to operate from Brighton full time as it “has a Silicon Valley feel” as “a place on the up”.
