Designed by John Wood the Younger, the Royal Crescent is one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture in the United Kingdom. Its 114 Ionic columns support a continuous façade, though behind it each owner built their house to their own taste.

Visit No. 1 Royal Crescent, restored and furnished as it would have been in the late 18th century, then stroll in Royal Victoria Park below.
