The Royal Pavilion in Brighton, East Sussex, is a residence distinguished by its architecture and interior design. It combines Indian Mughal-style elements with Chinese interior decoration, an example of early 19th-century taste.

History+

The construction of the Royal Pavilion took place between 1815 and 1822, commissioned by the Prince of Wales, later King George IV, in Brighton. John Nash was the architect. After George IV's death in 1830, his successor William IV continued to use the palace. Queen Victoria, however, found Brighton too public and lacking in privacy, especially after the town's connection to the railway network in 1841. This led to the government planning to sell the palace from 1845 onwards.
