Brighton Pavillion

Built in the Eighteenth Century as a pleasure palace for the Prince Regent, George IV, the Brighton Pavillion makes a great focus for a family day out from London. Its elegant onion domes and carved exterior cuts a breathtaking dash in the heart of Brighton. Inside you can see the best Chinoiserei in the British Isles, and children will love learning about George IV and his predecessor's escapades. This is the cream of regency society, and it's worth stopping here first for a tour, before taking in the rest of this regency jewel in the South Coast's crown. Outside the Pavillion, there is plenty of fun to be had in Brighton itself, and if you have time, spend a few days here, chilling out at the beach and getting to know it's brilliant shopping streets, the Laines.
