Parking on Waterloo Place, BN2
Close to the centre. 20 min walk to the pier. Behind an art centre so the vehicle was safe.

Parking on Kings Road, BN1
We found parking this way very easy . Pulled up to the gates , which opened on the recognition of our number plate , found a bay ,of which there are plenty , albeit a bit on the small side , and left the car there for two days , convenient to where we was staying and cheaper too . Remember to note down the code to get back in on foot , which is located by the gate when use to exit on foot .If you forget , you can head into the Hilton metropole hotel and that can lead you into the car park via one of the hotel corridors.

Parking on Buckingham Road, BN1
It was a bit difficult to find the place as I am super distracted and was my first time in Brighton. But the space is very safe and just few minutes walk from the beach. I got delayed with me errands so spoke with Ashley who totally understood and allowed me to stay a bit longer without causing him any trouble. Definetily will book again in the future.
