Spend time traveling about and photograpphing down there, stop over night, and then perhaps in to London for day 2? That way you could still spend plenty of time travelling about and photograpphing, prior to a trip home?
Brighton prices tend to be decent. Last year I was booked into the Jurys Inn (just behind the station), and that wasn't too bad - £60 a night I think? I'd be wary of anyone (other than Travel Lodge etc) providing a room for £50 down south.
It's a very good shout that! However I'd ideally like 2 nights there so I wouldn't have to carry my luggage around. Only thing with stopping out of London as well is that you can't really get in until late (weekdays) as most trains going into Oyster territory are expensive before 1000! What I would like to do is a Thameslink & Great Northern Daysaver (also one for Southern I think) which is unlimited travel on all TSGN routes for a day, £20 I think it is.
So many options to choose from, just gotta pick carefully and plan well!
