As a stylish 20-something the Prince Regent first came to Brighton in 1783 and before long he was spending so much of his leisure time at the town that he commissioned a seaside palace. The architect was John Nash, also known for London’s Regent Street and Buckingham Palace. The initial palace was Neoclassical, but in 1815, not long before he becam...
One of the UK’s major landmarks, the Palace Pier pushes out into the English Channel for half a kilometre at the bottom of the Old Steine thoroughfare. The pier has been a “bucket and spade” stalwart since it opened in 1899 and for most of the 20th century was dominated by a theatre demolished in the 1970s after it became structurally unsound. Sinc...

Part of the same ensemble as the Royal Pavilion, the building housing the Brighton Museum was intended as the Prince Regent’s tennis court. This was never completed and instead became a cavalry barracks, albeit a highly ornate one with multifoil aches and minarets. The museum holds collections of decorative art, natural sciences, fine art, world ar...
Back when Brighton was the tiny fishing village of Brighthelmstone, Old Steine Gardens was the village green with a stream running through it. Before long the gardens became a recreation area in a growing resort, and was incorporated the eastern lawns of William IV’s Royal Pavilion. Now it’s a green space in touching distance of all Brighton’s big ...
