SIGHT SEEING IN BRIGHTON

I visited few important places in Brighton. The Royal Pavilion is situated in the heart of Brighton city. This was a pleasure Palace built for Prince of Wales - George III and George IV. Queen Victoria stayed here for some time and sold this palace to the town of Brighton. This is 200 years old and now known for art work, furniture and objects. The long Gallery is richly decorated with a mixture of real and imitation bamboo. The elaborate Banqueting Room is magnificent and it is known for the most magnificent interiors in the Royal Pavilion. The central Chandelier in this room is very huge. It is nine meters in height and weighs one ton. The Great Kitchen is innovative and modern at that time. The copper vessels and other utensils used at that time still have been maintained well. The Music Room and Gallery are very well decorated which reflects George IV’s great passion for music, dance and concerts.

During World War I the Royal Pavilion was used as a hospital for Indian soldiers.

There are admission charges to see the Royal Pavilion and audio guides are free with admission which provides fascinating background and factual information as we walk inside the Royal Pavilion. 

Photography or any recording is prohibited inside the Royal Pavilion.

The Brighton Sea Life Centre is located close to the Brighton Pier. There are over 150 species in 57 separate displays covering all the aspects of marine life. This is the world’s oldest aquarium. The Sea Life Centre has an amazing Tropical Reef home to two giant sea turtles, black-tipped reef sharks and its own shipwreck. The spectacular views we get when we walk through underwater glass tunnel.    Artificial Amazonia Jungle  is full of deadly creatures which forms another interesting feature of this centre.
