The resurgence of Brighton as a tourist center has brought renewed life to this area. With it’s recent voting as England’s trendiest city, it seems that the nickname of London on the Sea is well-deserved.
The first thing someone should see in Brighton is the Royal Pavilion. This was rebuilt during the 19th century by architect John Nash. There is a unique Indian flair to this building. There are also a number of green-lawn gardens surrounding the Pavilion. Despite the Indian-style onion domes on the outside, the inside looks to have more of a Chinese influence. It is quite a sight and well worth the admission fee (about 8-9 GBP), however, no flash photography is allowed inside. This is also a very popular setting for weddings, and many couples come here just for that purpose.

Leeds pronunciation is located on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, England. It is the urban core and administrative centre of the wider metropolitan borough of the City of Leeds. The county borough of Leeds was awarded city status in 1893, but in 1974 this status was transferred to the larger new metropolitan borough named City of Leeds. Thus Leeds, although commonly referred to as a city, does not have this legal status unless the wider area is being discussed.

Passenger rail transport is the conveyance of passengers by means of wheeled vehicles specially designed to run along railways. Trains allow high capacity or short or long distance, but require track infrastructure and stations to be built. Urban rail transit consists of trams, light rail, rapid transit, people movers, commuter rail and funiculars.
