London’s Great Georgian Houses

The Georgian period is renowned for its classical style of domestic architecture. Palladianism was first introduced to England by Inigo Jones (The Queen’s House, Greenwich) but languished during the Civil War. It was revived in the 1720s by the Earl of Burlington (Chiswick House) and Henry Herbert (Marble Hill House). Marble Hill became the model for the English and Colonial villa. The neo-classical style was further refined by Robert Adam, famed for his interiors (Syon House, Osterley Park, Kenwood House, the initial design for Apsley House). The period was also notable for the beginnings of the Gothic revival (Strawberry Hill, 1749). Join Eugenia Russell to find out more.
