More than a third of Brits are clueless when it comes to knowing where Brighton's Royal Pavilion actually is when shown a picture of it, it has been found.

To make matters worse, a CompareTheMarket.com quiz found that 19 per cent of Londoners thought the landmark is in the capital rather than the south coast.

The price comparison website tested the knowledge of 1,500 would-be holidaymakers, asking them where tourist attractions across the country could be found.

Quizzers were given the names of several of the UK's most recognisable landmarks, as well as a picture of each site.

They were then given three possible answers and asked to say where the structure was in the country.

And the Royal Pavilion was one of the most likely landmarks to be misplaced, with 35 per cent of respondents failing to correctly guess where it is.

Of the people from Edinburgh who took the test, 11 per cent believed the building was in their home city, more than 400 miles away from its actual location.

The most commonly misplaced landmark was The Guardian, a bronze statue of a bull in Birmingham.

In total, 73 per cent of people provided an incorrect answer when asked which city the statue is displayed in.
