The urban sketchers are 10 years old this month. Today, in celebration, official groups around the world are sketching their cities, in a 24 hour ‘sketchwalk’.

Sadly there isn’t a group near Brighton, so I had my own, lone unofficial mini-crawl, starting in a damp Prince Albert Street.


I carried on the royal connection at George IV’s chinoiserie palace of debauchery, the Brighton Royal Pavilion. 


The ice rink is back for the winter. I’m sure Prinny would have thoroughly approved!

Definitely not a mosque
