Synagogue of outstanding interest |
Middle Street The Lanes Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AL United Kingdom +44 1273 88 8855 |
Built to the designs of Brighton architect Thomas Lainson in 1874-75. The Byzantine/Romanesque façade has round arched windows with voussoirs of blue and red tiles. The sumptuous interior owes much to the munificence of the Sassoon family and has galleries raised on marble columns with capitals carved with fruits mentioned in the Old Testament. The interior has been described as not only the finest in the UK, but among the most splendid in Europe. Call for service times. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of Brighton's best-loved parks |
London Road Brighton BN1 United Kingdom +44 (0)1273 29 2060 (City Parks) |
This is a fantastic place to unwind, with beautiful gardens to stroll in. Why not watch a game of bowls or tennis on courts nearby? There's also a cycle track, a skating area, and two cafes onsite. Preston Manor, an impressive Edwardian building, is tucked away in one corner, and the park hosts major gigs, as well as Russian and Chinese state circuses from time to time. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brighton's best-known attraction |
4/5 Pavilion Gardens Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1EE United Kingdom +44 1273 29 0900 http://www.royalpavilion.org.uk/ |
The 1995 tourist attraction of the year, and one of Europe's premier royal palaces, this former home of George IV is one of the UK's most exotic buildings. Indian architecture contrasts with interiors inspired by the Orient and collections of furniture and soft furnishings, decorative art, silver gilt and chinoiserie, including loans from the Queen. Restored to its full regency glory and set in restored Regency gardens. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tallest parish church |
Ann Street Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4GP United Kingdom +44 1273 62 0491 |
Located just behind the London Road shopping area, this church is worth a visit just for its size and atmosphere inside. It is believed to be the tallest parish church in the UK, four feet higher than Westminster Abbey. Built between 1872-74, its unique and breathtaking interior has high brick walls set off by opulent furnishings designed by Henry Wilson. The massive neo-Byzantine altar canopy inspired John Betjeman to imagine the clergy entering the church on elephants. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brighton's parish church |
York Place The Level Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4GU United Kingdom +44 1273 67 6051 |
One of the finest early Gothic Revival churches in the UK, built between 1824-1828 by Sir Charles Barry, who later designed the Houses of Parliament. Barry designed an ambitious tower to provide a termination to the north end of the Old Steine. The lower part of the tower has a buttressed screen with flying buttresses at the four corners, allowing for three high entrances. The interior is less impressive, but St Peter's nevertheless became the parish church of Brighton in 1873. Review © 2007, Wcities |
