Decadence

How is it that despite being a regular visitor to Brighton for a decade I've never been inside the Royal Pavilion? Today Emma and I set that right.

[The Royal Pavilion]

Indian on the outside; Chinese with Egyptian influences on the inside; all seen through the eyes of 18th century British craftsmen - this is one mixed up building. Built as a palace of entertainment for George IV, the Pavilion's decadence and quirkiness should come as no surprise.

The exterior is peculiar; the interior is stunning. Well worth a visit.
