To get out of London for a quiet weekend we headed out to Brighton. Although the beach is pretty average and the pier is the epitome of the British seaside (ie tacky!) there are some nice restaurants and cool bars and lots of wee vintage/designer clothes shops.
The Brighton Pavilion, built in the early 1800s by Prince Regent (George IV). "A fantasy of Asian exoticism mixed with English eccentricity" as the trusty Lonely Planet says. The interior is pretty amazing too.
Entrance to the Pavilion.
The oh-so-tacky Pier. Fast food, amusement arcades, rides and pokies. And chavs.
The pebbly beach.
Carousel on the Pier.
John skimming stones on the beach.
