Anybody on here from Brighton? If so can you tell me how far away the Imperial Hotel is from the Bowling Alley please? Cheers

About 3 miles from Bowlplex, Brighton Marina.

half an walk, near enough all the sea front. However there used to be a bowling alley on Brighton/Hove border called King Alfreds. May be closed now.

The last time I went to King Alfred's was back in the 60s. I'm pretty sure it is closed now. Didn't it get taken over as Brighton Leisure Centre?. Google doesn't come up with any hits for bowling at Brighton Leisure Centre unless you mean a 'bowling green'?

The Imperial Hotel is actually in Hove, on the seafront and as Kempie says, it is about 3 miles to the marina which is at the east end of Brighton.

Cheers for that you've been a great help :)

Hope teamcool got his night out sorted.

As an aside: the bowling alley at King Alfred's closed years ago but KA itself still exists - it's now a leisure pool. There's a row brewing locally over plans to redevlop it: the council can't afford to pay for it itself and is looking for a private developer to build the leisure centre and a block of flats - much to the dismay of Hove residents.

maxi29, isn't it sad that i didn't know about king alfreds when i live about 1 mile away. I must get more involved locally!!

Ward-Minter you may be able to help me. Is there a regular bus service or taxi rank nearby so I can get from Hove Rail station to the Imperial hotel? How long does it take etc? cheers

[Ward-Minter]

There is a busy rank right in front of Hove station. However its only a 10 minute walk away. Just head south for the sea. Turn left at the coast and walk east. Turn up First Ave.
