Why Visit the Brighton Royal Pavilion?

The Royal Pavilion at Brighton exemplifies the personality and tastes of 19th-century King George IV. His affinity for Oriental decor and trends is reflected in the Indo-Saracenic revival architecture, Chinese porcelain, and furniture designed to imitate bamboo, along with wallpaper, carpets, and lamps featuring dragons and lotus flowers. Restored to its original condition, the former royal residence showcases elements referencing Asia.

The pavilion's regency-style gardens provide an excellent introduction to the palace complex. Visitors can explore the 18th- and 19th-century history, including the impact of the First World War on Brighton and the UK. The Royal Pavilion served as a hospital during the war, transforming its music rooms into places for nurses to care for the wounded.

The striking architecture and history of the Royal Pavilion make it a must-see monument in Brighton.
