When the aliens arrive, they’ll know where to stay – the Hilton Doubletree!
Piering Down
A view of West Pier I’ve not had before, looking at it from above, with reflections.
Regency Square
As the i360 began to rise, we had a view of Regency Square and other nearby streets. Unfortunately the curved glass saucer shape of the chamber made it impossible to banish all the reflections.
Zenith
The i360 is a Brighton tourist attraction we’ve walked past a million times but never been to. A glass flying saucer travels up the tower pictured here, providing panoramic vistas out to sea and of the city and beyond to the South Downs. We went as sunset approached. Below, a view of the base of the tower from the waiting area (with reflections).

Idiom II (detail)
After the Marina Abramović at Saatchi Yates, we walked across the street and up some stairs into Smithson Plaza where, instead of massive land art (a different Smithson, I guess), we saw several sculptures by Charles Hadcock.
Abramović
After the Royal Academy we found very few local galleries open on a Sunday afternoon, but Saatchi Yates was, and we say this Marina Abramović exhibition, somewhat hurriedly.
