About

Brighton and Hove is a seaside resort in southeast England. The pebble beach is one of Brighton and Hove's main attractions, but the town has a number of other draws as well. Since the derelict West Pier burned, there is a single remaining pier that includes shops, places to eat and fairground rides. The Lanes is a labyrinth of old streets where the fishing village once was. Today it is filled with vintage and antique shops, bookstores, record stores and more. You can take a tour of the Royal Pavilion, built in the early 19th century at the command of King George IV, who was the Prince Regent at the time. It was built in a style popular in India in the 19th century. Brighton and Hove has many excellent restaurants and is also known for its nightlife.
