How to Find a Scenic Drive From London to Brighton
London is the most populous city and metropolitan area in the European Union and the Greater London area is encircled by the M25 motorway. These directions start from the Palace of Westminster, otherwise known as the Houses of Parliament. Brighton is 60 miles south of London and is one of the largest and most famous seaside resorts in the United Kingdom. For more scenic drives, do not use the extensive British Motorway system. Travel on roads that have the prefix A or B. The B roads are smaller and less-frequented.
