Brighton: Daddy Longlegs pub reopens as The Bell Tower

The Bell Tower in Arundel Road, Kemp Town, Brighton, is opening in what was Daddy Longlegs.

Contractors have painted the pub, which was white and blue, light and dark green.

"We’ve also freshened up the drinks range to include beers from local breweries and aim to bring the whole Golden Lion Group experience to this lovely pub"
