Brighton and Hove City Council is inviting investors to transform the Kings Road paddling pool and playground into a new seafront destination, with the water play and play area to stay free. Proposals are open until 27 September 2026.

Brighton has always had a darker side hidden beneath the postcard views and busy seafront crowds. From the ruins of the West Pier to the underground tunnels beneath the Royal Pavilion, the city is filled with stories that locals still talk about today.
