The Royal Pavilion was commissioned by the Prince of Wales, son of George III, in 1783. He then enlarged it to the present building in 1812. You either like it or you do not. One doubter described it as " a square box, a large Norfolk turnip and four onions."

Along the coast, past the resort of Worthing is Arundel with its castle, the Gothic fairy tale home of the Duke of Norfolk.
