The Royal Pavilion

The Royal Pavilion has been a sightseeing destination in Brighton for over two centuries. Created by architect John Nash, this extraordinary oriental fantasy has become an iconic architectural symbol in the city. The Royal Pavilion has woven an intricate tapestry of history and modern allure, making it an unparalleled gem in the heart of Brighton.

The Pavilion’s lush gardens, meticulously designed to complement the pavilion’s grandeur, provide an oasis of tranquillity amidst the bustling cityscape. Among this beautiful garden and desirable busking destination, you can also find the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery which uncovers the Pavilion’s history and beyond.

The Royal Pavilion takes its unique character from the man for whom it was built, George IV and its magnificent interior is a reflection of his personality and Regency reign. It was conceived as a monument to style, finesse, technological excellence and above all pleasure. Throughout the years, the Royal Pavilion’s significance has only grown. It continues to draw visitors and aficionados from around the world, who are captivated by its fusion of architectural marvel and historical narrative.
