The Royal Pavilion
The Royal Pavilion, with its Indian Mogul exterior created by John Nash, was the seaside palace of George IV. It is a landmark in Brighton, and its minarets and onion domes have been part and parcel of the popular image of the town since the 1820s. Guided tours through this richly-decorated palace are offered. Refreshments are available in the Queen Adelaide tea room.

The Lanes
The Lanes, with its intricate network of narrow, twisting alleyways, is the historical heart of Brighton, as it was here that the old fishing village Brighthelmstone had its centre. Today this maze-like area offers an extraordinary mix of shops, pubs and restaurants. In the middle is Brighton Square, with a bronze sculpture by James Osborne.
