Royal Pavilion

Royal PavilionLocated in the heart of Brighton, the eccentric Royal Pavilion is a much loved icon of the city. Originally a neo-classical manor house, the building was completed redesigned by Nash as Prince Regent's seaside palace, in an Indian inspired style of domes and minarets, with a Chinoisery interior of flamboyant extravagance.

The palace is surrounded by gardens which have been returned to their original design, and are a charming place to while away the hours.

A key part of the cultural quarter, next door is the recently refurbished Dome, and Corn Exchange, and the Theatre Royal is opposite.
