Brighton, England Luxury Vacations, Tours and Travel Packages

In the early 19th century, George, the Prince Regent (later King George IV) gave the expanding seaside town his patronage, and all of Society followed his lead. Here he realized his oriental fantasy, the Royal Pavilion.

Built in 1815-22 by his favorite architect John Nash, it is fitted out with minarets and topped with white domes reminiscent of Indian architecture; even so, all of this pomp only hints at the extravagant chinoiserie of the interior, which includes a magnificent banqueting hall. Architectural purists will perhaps prefer the town's Regency terraces, with Lewes Crescent and Sussex Square to the east matched by Brunswick Terrace to the west in neighboring Hove.

A great deal of Brighton's flamboyant seaside architecture is Victorian, including the two piers (one sadly in a state of decay) which thrust out far into the sea, and the filigree arches of Madeira Drive on the eastern seafront - which is also a favorite venue for various automobile races. The most famous is the LondontoBrighton "old crocks" race held each year in November.

The Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in Church Street houses an excellent collection of art deco, Art Nouveau furniture, fashions from the last 100 years, and old musical instruments.

In the district known as The Lanes, antique shops, elegant boutiques and small restaurants have settled in the old 17thcentury fisherman's cottages. Since 1841, when the railway first connected Brighton to London, this former harbor town has grown into the largest and bestknown seaside resort on the Channel coast.

The former Goldstone pumping station in Hove is now the home of the British Engineerium, which fittingly celebrates the engineering achievements of the Regency period. Volk's Railway, the world's first electric railway when it began in 1883, runs from Palace Pier towards the large yacht marina which has grown up under the cliffs since the 1960s.
