Outing: Brighton Architecture Walk

The Brighton Architecture Walk — a journey through one of Britain’s most visually fascinating seaside cities. Beginning at the great Victorian Brighton Railway Station and finishing beside the elegant Regency terraces of Regency Square, this walk has been designed especially with photographers in mind.

Along the way we will explore the extraordinary contrasts that make Brighton such a rewarding place to photograph: from the colourful creativity of the North Laine and the narrow twittens of The Lanes to the dramatic domes and minarets of the Royal Pavilion. We will encounter Regency elegance, Victorian grandeur, hidden architectural details, textured bungaroosh walls, ornate theatres, religious buildings, seaside engineering and constantly changing coastal light.

There will be opportunities to capture:

• sweeping Regency terraces and sea views,
• reflections, textures and street scenes,
• vibrant shopfronts and urban colour,
• architectural details and decorative ironwork,
• wide panoramic compositions along the seafront,
• and the unique mixture of grandeur and eccentricity that defines Brighton.

The walk also tells the remarkable story of how a struggling fishing village transformed into one of Europe’s most fashionable seaside resorts through royal patronage, architecture, entertainment and tourism.

Whether your interest is architecture, documentary photography, street photography or simply observing the character of the city, Brighton offers visual interest at almost every turn.
