The Viaduct is one of those big pieces of architecture that you notice from afar and ignore close up. So get close for a major neck craning and you’ll get that “how the hell did they ever build this…” feeling. When I look up I get vertigo and I doubt the strength of those spindly looking redbrick supports. Preston Road and Beaconsfield Road are good places to look around, and afterwards you can pop into the nearby Signalman pub.

This is Sandpiper bookshop in the North Laine. The North Laine is a very old residential and shopping area. the majority of shops, cafes and bars are independent and have been that way since I arrived almost 20 years ago. Sandpiper stock hundreds of current and out of print photo books at very competitive prices. Here i can gouge away....The music is ace too.

Really great restaurant, which started out in Dec 2016, with a mission to serve authentic Caribbean food and cocktails. The jerk chicken is really good, but I really like the Trini Curry Roti (pictured) and Goat Curry (when available). You've also got to try the homemade hot sauce, which I slap it on everything.

I love the smell of this bookshop. On my first visit I felt like an explorer making a major archeological discovery. There is a basement, which you get to via a spiral staircase. I am convinced that behind one of the floor to ceiling books shelves is a secret room that opens up by sliding out a secret book from a shelf.

I dont like flash bars and pubs. I like committed boozers where you might get away with falling over or being a bit cheeky. This is my favourite pub in Brighton called the Heart and Hand. The juke box is full of some superb 45s inc The Who's Mary Anne with the Shaky Hands, Love's a House is not a Motel and Buffalo Springfield's I am a Child. The ales not bad and the bar staff are usually very nice.

Unlimited is an independent shop and gallery, stocking a range of playful and experimental graphic-flavoured prints, jewellery, homewares, textiles and furniture. They often rotate their exhibitions, which keeps the place feeling fresh and exciting. The shop exterior is worth a mention too, as it features large graphics by top designers like Supermundane and Gary Stranger (pictured).
