Why Visit the Brighton Royal Pavilion?

The Royal Pavilion at Brighton is an architectural example of the eccentric personality and tastes of 19th-century King George IV. His love of Oriental decor and trends is evident in the Indo-Saracenic revival architecture, Chinese porcelain, bamboo furniture, and decorative elements featuring dragons and lotus flowers. Restored to its original condition, the former royal residence is rich in Asian-inspired details.

The pavilion's regency-style gardens provide an excellent introduction to the complex. Visitors can explore the 18th- and 19th-century history of the estate, as well as 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 care facilities for the wounded.

The striking architecture and fascinating history of the Royal Pavilion make it a noteworthy monument on any visit to Brighton.
