Im going to London and Brighton for most of next week and am terribly excited as I normally don't get to go for that long, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend some places I should go while im there? Any lovely shops and even any events or things to see between the 18th and the 21st would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

In London I would recommend Kingly Court off Carnaby Street for some cute little shops.

Get yourself to the Cellar Door too for cocktails and champagne.

Brighton- shopping in the North Laines is a must,also check out Fetique which stocks corsets and What Katie Did bits. I think its based out the centre of town though so best look up their website for directions.
There are loads of restaurants down Preston St off Western Road and also near the Jubilee library where there is also Las Iguanas for cocktails or if you're feeling rich and especially poncy pop in for an overpriced delicous cocktail in My Hotel but beware of the middle aged men thinking they look 'hip' and trying to pick you up.

South Laines great for posh jewellery window shopping and there is a great little Italian called Pablo's thats cheap and yummy with a very reasonably priced vintage jewellery/handbag shop opposite.

For entertainment check out the Komedia or maybe the Marlborough.

The fab thing about Brighton is that it is so small you can just wander around and browse and stumble across hidden  gems. I miss Brighton.
