Facts About Brighton

Brighton is situated between the South Downs to the north and the English Channel to the south.

During the Georgian era, Brighton grew as a fashionable seaside resort. This was helped by Prince Regent (later King George IV) who first visited Brighton in 1783. He encouraged further growth of the town and spent a lot of his leisure time there, constructing the Royal Pavilion during the early part of his Regency.

The Victorian era brought about the construction of many of the still major attractions, the Metropole Hotel (now Hilton), Grand Hotel, the West Pier, and the Brighton Palace Pier.
The arrival of the railways in 1841 helped tourism to grow and made Brighton a popular destination for London day-trippers.
