Brighton is a seaside resort in the south of England, roughly directly south of London. The London and Brighton Railway, established in 1841, made it an option to take day trips there. In Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street" (1923), thinks of this as somewhere a shopgirl might be able to get away for a vacation, but not a particularly good vacation: "She has a fortnight at Brighton. In some stuffy lodging. The landlady takes the sugar."
