About Carlton House Terrace
Carlton House Terrace was designed by John Nash and constructed from 1827 to 1833 on the site of Carlton House, the former home of the Prince Regent, later George IV.
From 1831 until just after the First World War, No. 10 was the London home of the Ridley family, who were wealthy landowners in Northumberland. The British Academy moved into No. 10 in 1998.
Take yourself on a tour of Carlton House Terrace using the QR codes around the building or join a guided tour, starting at 19:50 in the Reading Room.
