Royal Pavilion
No. 2 of Best Things to Do in East Sussex

Royal Pavilion

7.1
4.6/5
158 reviews

Brighton is a famous seaside resort city in southeastern England, with a train journey from London taking approx. 1 hour. Besides the beach, the must-see attraction in Brighton is the white building with oriental elements commissioned by George IV—the Royal Pavilion. The palace has been respected and beloved by society and the people to this day, and it remains a highly important and iconic landmark in Brighton. The Royal Pavilion was originally a seaside villa, serving as the residence of George IV and his mistress when he was still the Prince of Wales. In 1815, he ordered the villa to be transformed into a luxurious oriental palace. The transformation from a modest seaside villa to the magnificent structure seen today took approximately 36 years. The exterior of this palace, which bears a striking resemblance to the "Taj Mahal," features an Indo-Chinese pagoda style, with its distinctive white onion domes adding a playful touch. The interior of the palace is extremely magnificent, with Chinese elements permeating everywhere, from the furniture to the murals, vases, and lighting. Surprisingly, it is said that the designer had never actually been to China. At that time, Chinoiserie was popular in Britain, so the designer created the entire interior decoration of the palace based on some books, albums, and their own imagination. Among the interior decorations, the grand chandelier in the banquet hall is particularly noteworthy. A large flying dragon on the ceiling grasps the top of the chandelier with its claws, while six smaller dragons below hold lotus-shaped lamp stands in their mouths. At the center of these six dragons is a circular chandelier. This massive chandelier weighs 1 ton, and the carvings of the dragons are incredibly lifelike, appearing vivid under the lighting. Photography is prohibited inside the palace, so you can only etch the breathtaking beauty of this palace in your memory. The music room in the palace can host wedding banquets in the evening, while newlyweds can also book the red drawing room for small private weddings during the day, and then come to the park to take wedding photos.

Brighton Beach stretches along the coastline of the English Channel and is a seaside leisure area shared by Brighton and Hove. The beach is characterized by smooth pebbles rather than fine sand, which feels unique underfoot. A wide promenade stretches along the shore, with Victorian arches beneath it housing galleries, cafes, bars, and independent shops. Rows of colorful beach huts line the pebbled shore, a classic scene here. Water activities such as kayaking and paddleboarding are common, and you can also see people playing volleyball or throwing frisbees on the pebbles. At low tide, the beach expands significantly, making it perfect for long walks. At high tide, the water comes close to the promenade, offering a different view.

Brighton Seafront is a scenic coastal area full of natural charm. It features the vast English Channel, a long pebble beach, fresh sea breezes, and an open sky, creating a tranquil and captivating coastal scene. The color of the sea changes with the weather and light. On clear days, the sea appears blue-green, and sunlight sparkles on the waves like silver. As the breeze blows, ripples form on the water's surface, and waves continuously roll toward the shore, lapping against the smooth pebbles with a crisp, rhythmic sound. When the tide recedes, the wet pebbles glisten in the sunlight, and the air is filled with the faint scent of the sea. Traveling east along the coast, you can see the famous white chalk cliffs. The stark white cliffs contrast sharply with the azure sea, showcasing the magnificence and uniqueness of nature. Seagulls soar freely in the sky, adding vitality to the tranquil coast.

Seven Sisters Country Park

Seven Sisters Country Park borders the English Channel and is named after the seven connected chalk cliffs within the park. Located on the coastline of East Sussex, these cliffs are a geological feature formed by the long-term erosion of the South Downs by the sea. The cliffs are composed of chalk formed by the remains of marine micro-organisms deposited tens of millions of years ago; they are entirely white, creating a striking contrast with the emerald green grass on the cliff tops and the blue sea below. The Cuckmere Haven area within the park is one of the most recognizable views along the entire coastline. The winding stream flows through the chalk valley into the sea, and the estuary mudflats and surrounding chalk grasslands together form an important ecological habitat where various seabirds and migratory birds can be observed year-round. The Coastguard Cottages by the estuary are a classic spot for photographing the panoramic view of the seven cliffs; looking east from here, you can see the full silhouette of the cliffs arranged in sequence. The South Downs Way, which winds along the cliff tops, is a classic hiking route for experiencing the full view of the cliffs. Walking along the undulating cliff ridges, you have an unobstructed view of the English Channel on one side and open grasslands and pastures on the other. The cliffs are constantly changing shape due to continuous sea erosion, and cliff faces occasionally collapse into the sea, which means the silhouette of the cliff line you see each time you visit may be slightly different. The Seven Sisters cliffs have also appeared in many films and television shows; because the cliffs are white and free from modern architectural interference, they are often used as a stand-in for the White Cliffs of Dover. The coastal background of the Quidditch World Cup stadium in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the final scene of "Atonement," and the opening shots of "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" were all filmed here.

Brighton, now a holiday destination, has long since forgotten the label of a small fishing village, but the land still retains traces of history. The alley area to the south of the Imperial Pavilion is where the original small fishing village was located. Now there are many interesting small shops, bars and restaurants built on the original streets. The graffiti on the walls is also very literary and has a feeling of Xiamen Gulangyu Island. In addition to "Gay", "Hippie" (hippie) is also one of Brighton's iconic elements, which you will deeply experience here. This small alley is intricate and easy to get lost, but the dazzling array of small shops can make your shopping enjoyable, especially girls, who can always find their favorite small objects as souvenirs.

Seven Sisters Cliffs are located between Seaford and Eastbourne and are a famous chalk cliff view on the southern coast of England. Seven continuous white peaks are arranged from west to east along the English Channel. The gaps between the peaks, formed by seawater erosion of ancient dry valleys, create distinct depressions that look like undulating white waves from a distance. The entire cliff line is free from any man-made structures, preserving the natural appearance of the English chalk coast. Looking east from Seaford Head, you can see the full view of the seven peaks, making it a classic vantage point for photographing the Seven Sisters. The South Downs Way, which winds along the cliff tops, traverses the entire cliff line. The entire route is undulating, with chalk cliffs cutting straight into the sea on one side and open grassy slopes and the vast sea on the other. While walking, you can observe the geological texture of the flint bands embedded in the chalk layers at close range, and you can also find plants unique to the chalk grasslands, such as wild thyme and orchids, on the grassy slopes in summer. The visitor center within Seven Sisters Country Park offers exhibitions on the geological evolution of the chalk cliffs and the coastal ecology.

If you want to feel the worldly atmosphere of Brighton, then this magnificent pier with a history of 100 years is a good choice. Looking west, you will see the ruins of the West Pier (WestPier), which was burnt down and left with wreckage. Today, only the desolate iron frame remains of this former Victorian architectural marvel, which is very sad.

It is worth a visit. The palace is very luxurious and exquisite not only at that time but also now. The Chinese elements are very shocking. Among the many castles and palaces in Europe, the Chinese elements are the main ones. You can also see the wallpaper, furniture and porcelain customized in Guangzhou, China at that time.

more like a downtown touristy place with many cafes and cosmetic shops. very easy to get lost while looking for some place on maps. almost did when i was lookong for Mac cosmetics...you will find Jo Malone, Bobby Brown and Mac cosmetics all in one small area. and coffee shops too. on my second attempt i was looking for pizza express and i almost missed it. hehehh the lanes is one place that gets you wondering what exactly is going on with your maps application. definately recomend you to not miss it while in brighton. on your way to lanes you will meet Tmax the famous brand discount shop and boy, you will thank me then.

If you are looking to take a date trip from London and I highly recommend Seven Sister Cliffs. It's worth every penny.How to Get there : Take a train from London to Eastbourne Station which cost around 17£. Then take a bus from Eastbourne Station ( Bus Numbet 12A, 12 or 12A) and Get off at Seven Sisters Country Park.You'll find mutlipe spots to click great photos like mine 😂 Also make sure you check the weather before visiting and wear waterproof shoes as the walk to the cliffs are very muddy and a bit long walk too ( about 30-40min one way)

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you’re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn’t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March
