Royal Pavilion, Brighton
This exotic building in the centre of Brighton was built by King George IV in 1787 as a seaside retreat before he was king. Heavily influenced by both Chinese and Indian fashion (with Mughal and Islamic architectural elements) the Royal Pavilion is a striking contrast to the more classic Georgian style of Brighton sea front, and well worth a visit, (and a quick photo!)

JoJo’s Brighton is a family-run, artisan gelato shop that’s renowned for bringing those American retro vibes to the seaside, as well as offering some of the finest gelato, crepes, waffles and drinks in the city. This cosy ice cream shop isn’t far from West Pier either, so it’s a gorgeous pit-stop if you’re having a beach-side stroll and it’s one of our favourite brighton instagram spots.

West Pier, Brighton
