The Regency Town House

The Regency Town House is the site of a momentous restoration project. The Georgian terraced property, part of architect Charles Busby’s Brunswick Estate, is an impressive example of 19th century architecture. Unlike most of the properties on the square, Regency Town House is remarkable as it remains relatively unchanged from its Georgian beginnings.

We went to see a comedian at the venue and were impressed at the size. It is very small and intimate which made it ideal as a comedy venue. Would definitely go again.

The Lanes

This area is home to an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants.

Reviewed By Good_Partner - Sydney, Australia

Unlike walking through the high streets for window shopping, this area provides visitors more fun as shops are close and lanes are narrow only one person can pass through at a time in many occasions, so the excitement is high. It's not a small maze to most unless you are familiar with each lane and corner by identifying the shops and benchmarks. Without visiting The Lanes, your trip to Brighton is not complete.

Royal Pavilion

The Royal Pavilion is an exotic palace in the centre of Brighton with a colourful history. Built as a seaside pleasure palace for King George IV, this historic house mixes Regency grandeur with the visual style of India and China. A Prince's Treasure - A spectacular loan from Her Majesty The Queen is currently on display at the Royal Pavilion until Autumn 2021. The culmination of a collaborative venture between Royal Collection Trust and the Royal Pavilion & Museums, over 120 remarkable decorative works of art that were originally commissioned by the Prince Regent, have been relocated from Buckingham Palace and re-united in their previous setting of the Royal Pavilion.

Lovely, comfy cinema with just one screen but lots of atmosphere. Staff are always warm and friendly and there's a little bar upstairs for a pre- film drink.

As we were travelling quite a distance we timed our visit for a sunny day. This BA i 360 pod glides about 500' up a tower for pretty impressive views. Its situated on the old entrance to the now destroyed old pier and is a dominant feature on the Brighton seafront. We didnt have many people joining us so there was plenty of seating in the waiting area and we were through very quickly to 'board' complete with our BA flight tickets :-). Very smooth ride with plenty of chances to view from all angles, only thing is that the sun glare and curvature of the windows does nothing for any decent photos, but the experience is fun. You can see the Seven Sisters way in the distance. It would be helpful if, like the London Eye, small notices were placed around the rim of the pod so visitors could spot buildings a bit more easily - would have thought this was pretty obvious. Drinks were very expensive but they have a captive audience out for a fun time. We are very pleased to have made this trip and would recommend going - £16 each is pretty steep really and they do not have concessions which is surprising too. Think its cheaper online.

We were actually looking for another shop when we came across this little gem, it was very exciting to see something so iconic as to where a part of such a brilliant film had been filmed, gutted that it's full of graffiti why cant people respect property. I still enjoyed it though, love the shop so much stuff to buy to celebrate the Mods.
