Georgian architecture, named after the four eponymous British monarchs who reigned from 1714 to 1830, remains one of the most enduring legacies of classical design in the UK. Influenced heavily by the symmetry and proportion of Palladianism and later, Neoclassicism, Georgian buildings are often marked by signature honey coloured stone work, sash windows, and undeniable character. Across the UK, entire cities and neighbourhoods stand as preserved exhibits of this period, ranging from London townhouses and spa towns to sweeping crescents, stately homes, and meticulously planned squares.
