About Brighton

  • The Royal Pavilion, the extraordinary Indo-Saracenic palace built for the Prince Regent — later George IV — between 1787 and 1823, is the most exotic building in Britain and one of the most remarkable examples of Regency architecture in the world. The exterior, with its onion domes, minarets, and tent-like roofs, was designed by John Nash in a style inspired by Mughal India, while the interior is decorated in an equally extravagant Chinese style, with dragon chandeliers, bamboo staircases, and lacquered furniture. The Pavilion was built as a pleasure palace for the Prince Regent, who used it as a retreat from the formality of London court life, and it reflects his taste for the exotic, the theatrical, and the expensive. The building was sold to Brighton Corporation in 1850 and is now one of the most visited tourist attractions in the south of England.
  • Brighton's identity as a place of tolerance, creativity, and unconventionality has deep historical roots — the town's association with the Prince Regent and the Regency aristocracy established a tradition of pleasure-seeking and rule-breaking that has persisted through the Victorian period, when Brighton was a destination for illicit weekends, to the present day, when the city has one of the largest and most visible LGBTQ+ communities in Britain. The annual Brighton Pride, held in August, is one of the largest Pride events in Europe, attracting over 300,000 people to the city, and Brighton's reputation as a welcoming and inclusive city has made it a destination for people from across the country who feel marginalised elsewhere.
  • The North Laine, the network of streets north of the railway station, is one of the most distinctive shopping and cultural districts in Britain — a dense concentration of independent shops, cafés, galleries, and music venues that has resisted the homogenisation of the high street and preserved a character of eccentricity and creativity that is rare in contemporary Britain. The area, which developed in the 19th century as a working-class neighbourhood, was transformed in the 1970s and 1980s by artists, musicians, and independent traders who were attracted by the low rents and the bohemian atmosphere, and it has since become one of the most fashionable areas in the south of England. The North Laine is home to some of the best independent record shops, bookshops, and vintage clothing stores in the country.
