Go back to a time when royalty could exercise their eccentricity to the maximium, to a time when extravagance and opulence became the expectation. This was King George 1V's monument to excess struck in the fashion of the Far East. This Royal Palace was, and is, as far over the top as one might imagine and yet it is strangely...

Prepare for your eyes to pop out of their sockets. If you walk into the dining room, kitchen or music room, and your jaw doesn't drop to the floor, there is something wrong with you. The place really is a work of art. No photography allowed, which is a little disappointing, but understandable.

I love this place - Indian on the outside, Chinese on the inside; an eccentric, 'precious' place, the fantasy and folly of an extravagant prince - with a story that just typifies Brighton.
To really appreciate the unusual ideas and artefacts, it's worth getting an audio guide or taking a tour.

Was expecting to be disappointed but what a place! Incredible. Comes with an audio guide (definitely use it) going into details about its history and pieces in each room. Be prepared to be STUNNED by the dining room. Go as EARLY as you can, before the groups arrive.

George IV's weird nod to China isn't to my taste but makes for an interesting visit. Just be aware that there are very few places to sit as you listen to the audio guide explanations! It costs GBP 10 (concessions GBP 8) so is pricey.
