Royal Pavilion

This a palace about the king if England before who liked to collect Chinese things:)

Very cool exterior – Indian inspired with minarets and lacy details – just the sort of louche seaside escape you would expect for George IV. The interior is like the tackiest Chinese restaurant you ever had the pleasure to visit. Seeing the dragon chandelier in the banqueting room (which I understand can be rented out) is worth the price of admission (about 6 pounds). The place is crazy and a great way to spend an hour.

The star attraction of Brighton, self-annointed “London-by-the-Sea,” is the restored Royal Pavilion, a pseudo-Oriental pleasure palace built in the late 1700s by the Prince Regent, later King George IV.
