At the end of the 18th century, the English seaside resort of Brighton was fortunate enough to be chosen by the British Royal Family as its official summer residence.
Along with the Royal Family came the cream of English society, including the aristocracy and the so-called 'moneyed' classes.
As a result, Brighton immediately became associated with glamour and sophistication, and even today, it is very much regarded to be a fashionable place.

Whether it is watching one of the many sporting events held in the city, to eat at one of its many renowned restaurants, to go clubbing in one of Europe's liveliest club scenes, or simply to stroll along the pier or promenade, which in the 21st Century is as popular as ever.
The Royal Pavilion is a sight well worth seeing. It was built especially for the Prince Regent at the turn of the 18th century. The Mogul style architecture, palm trees and gardens, are exotic and exciting.

The Pavilion recounts a wonderful impression of tropical India set among a unique example of early 19th century architecture.
The Palace Pier isn‘t just for taking a stroll, you can find popcorn stands, fish-and-chips stalls, fortune tellers and an excellent night club, amusement arcades and pubs there.
The city used to be a fishing village before it was colonised by the royals and the aristocracy. |

Brightons winding lanes used to be home to its fishermen, today they are one of the city’s attractions and have become known as The Lanes.
They offer cosy pubs, antique shops, book shops and cafés on every corner. The city has grown over the centuries, it is still very young and a popular university city. Its closeness to London contributes to its international atmosphere, trains run directly to Victoria and take about 45 minutes.
Our school, a beautifully restored Edwardian building is situated on The Promenade, directly in front of the once famous West Pier and it is also close to the splendid Grand Hotel. |
