Website | EmailJohn Wood the Younger's masterpiece, often called the 'finest crescent in Europe' was built between 1767 and 1775 and has housed many famous residents including the Prince of Wales and Duke of York, first and second sons of George III. It consists of one hundred and fourteen Ionic columns supporting a continuous cornice over two hundred yards long. Originally divided into thirty choice mansions, today the middle buildings form the elegant and sumptuous Royal Crescent Hotel, and Number 1 is a museum.
