 Victorian municipal clock tower |
Junction of West Street and Queens Road Brighton, East Sussex United Kingdom |
Built in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, the clock carries portraits of the Queen, Prince Albert and their son, the future Edward VII, and his wife. Above the clock is a gilt copper sphere, a time ball that once rose up a mast every hour and fell on the hour. The mechanism is no longer in use as the council had so many complaints from local residents about the noise. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old quarter of Brighton |
Church Street (Trafalgar Street) Brighton, East Sussex BN1 United Kingdom |
Known as Brighton's Bohemian quarter, North Laine is home to some of the best shops, pubs and cafes in the area. Local cafe culture thrives during the summer, with tables spreading out into the middle of the road in Gardener Street and fashions and sub-cultures competing in a vibrant atmosphere. There is an eclectic mix of antique warehouses, second-hand shops, glitzy boutiques and buskers. Snooper's Paradise in Kensington Gardens is Brighton's largest indoor flea market. There is also a Saturday morning market in Upper Gardner Street. 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 |

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 |
