Fantastic video, please keep them coming! I love learning more about this period in history, and the extravagant houses are among my favorite subjects. :)

Interestingly, and to save cost in the construction of the new National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, the bases and capitals of the columns at the front of Carlton House were reused for the porticos at the east and west entrances the columns themselves having deteriorated where they were stored in St James's Park). Therefore, we have a hint of what greeted visitors from 1815 there.

Thanks for the history tour! I keep imagining Blackadder the Third prowling about the grounds!

Is it not peculiar how the current view from The Mall of those columns with the pediment behind is almost a mirror image of the view from Pall Mall shown in your early etching?

There should have been more explanation of why Austin disliked the regent. He was a fan of hers. But an awful one. He suggested a plot to her…😂

Buckingham Palace is not a very attractive building compared to so many great houses that were demolished over the years. It looks very institutional in a way.
