After years of including Brighton Pavilion in my novels of the Regency, I was able to pay a visit - and it was everything I hoped for. I had drawn extensively on the published descriptons and found nothing wanting. The tour recording was perfect and it was fascinating to see restoration work in progress. I would have loved to have had a peek at the Regent's bathroom, and wondered if it is currently as described? And I had rather hoped to see one or two characters walking about in Regency costume. Nevertheless, a credit to all. The staff were lovely and very helpful. I looked about outside for a Regency coffee house - somewhere to sit and admire the pavilion itself. Just a thought for the future. There would have been plenty of customers, I think, on the day I visited. The giftshop is top-class - and I bought. I'll be back!
