People have had their say on the best shops in Brighton and Hove.

Suggestions came after The Crown’s Erin Doherty, who played a young Princess Anne in the third series of the Netflix hit, revealed her favourite haunts in the city.

The 30-year-old grew up in West Sussex and is now based in Brighton.

She spoke about her favourite places to shop in the area for The Little Blue Book of Sharing - a celebration of ten years of American Express’s Shop Small campaign.

Among her favourites were Oeuf Café in Hove, the Flour Pot Bakery in Sydney Steet, Brighton, Resident in Kensington Gardens and Papersmiths in Sydney Street, Brighton.

Residents responded with their own best loved places to shop.

Isra Ridha said: “Le Diademe Jewellery, Brighton.”

Jan Hickley said: “Hunter Florist in St James Street.”

Katie Doney said: “Velvet in Hove.”

Jason Gorman said: “Seven Cellars.”

Viv Coates said: “Primark.”

But some were not so complimentary about the city’s offerings.

Tim Payne said: “What shops? Most of the good ones have gone.”

Lorna Maslin said: “I don’t go into town much as don’t like it but if I do it’s for Lush.”

Yvonne Granger-Taylor said: “Never visit Brighton, parking too expensive and with all the gates you’re afraid of being fined.”

Patricia Bowring said: “No toilets.”

Alan York said: “A few but I don’t go anymore as I’m a driver.”
