Kemptown is a small community running along the King's Cliff from the Old Steine to Black Rock in the east of Brighton, East Sussex, England it includes the Kemp Town residential estate known as Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent to its eastern end.
Returning south to the seafront, Kemptown's easterly neighbours are Black Rock and then Roedean.
Historically known as an actors' and artists' quarter, it has a sizeable LGBT community and a network of streets with specialised shops, hotels, cafés and pubs.
The line, featuring two viaducts and a tunnel, was built at great cost partly to block the route for other railways from London.
There remain a number of bus services through Kemptown, and the Volk's Electric Railway passes the area along the beach.
