Two places in Sussex have been ranked among the top 60 most stylish places to live in the UK.

Arundel and an area of Brighton were crowned on a list created by homeware brand Furniturebox.

Discussing its creation, they wrote: "Last year, we published our list of the Top 20 most stylish places in the UK. So this year, we're back at it, expanding our list and ranking criteria to include 60 locations.

"Design is our 'thing' and we love seeing how regular folks turn their houses into dream homes. But bigger spaces and communities intrigue us too. What makes a village, a town or a city a stylish place to live?"

In order to find out they set up a survey and had respondents rank locations based on:

  • the beauty of the buildings;
  • the stunning scenery;
  • how "Instagrammable" the location is
  • their popularity with artists and filmmakers

Arundel came in fourth overall. The full list of the top 60 most stylish locations can be found on the Furniturebox website here.

What Brighton area was in the top 60 most stylish locations?

Kemp Town was the Brighton area that featured in the list, ranking in 47th place overall.

No other Brighton area made it into the top 60, however Hove Park, Seven Dials, Hanover and Brunswick Town were mentioned as other stylish areas in the city.

Kemp Town is described as a "glorious blend of elegant seafront squares and grand Regency crescents with lush green gardens" on its Visit Brighton page.

It is known for its vast swathes of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs which give the area a lot of character.

Alongside that, it has a "vibrant nightlife scene" and is at the heart of Brighton Pride every year.

A spokeswoman for Furniturebox added: "All 60 places on the list would have been worthy winners and they show why the UK is such a stylish country, loved by artists, filmmakers and tourists from all over the world.

"We found it really interesting to see how influential Instagram has become in boosting tourism in many of our top 60.

"It is a massive help for visitor numbers too, if a popular film or TV show uses a town as a location.

"Most of the locations in the top 60 are not the most affluent or fashionable in their counties.

"The results show that style can be achieved regardless of budget, and that's something we champion at Furniturebox, too."
