History and Discovery of a Classic Georgian Home,

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Georgian style houses were built on many streets in West London. These houses can still be found throughout the area today, particularly along Marylebone High Street. This article will explain how these homes came about, who lived in them and why they are so famous

The Georgian era was a period of great prosperity for Britain between 1714 and 1837. It was marked by a growing economy, increased trade and an increase in the population from around 2 million in 1714 to 4 million by 1801. This growth was due to a number of factors including good harvests, low taxes and stable government

The Georgian style was characterised by symmetry and proportionality; it was considered to be one of the most perfect building styles ever created by man. The style was used widely during this period due to its ability to harmonise with both domestic life and architecture outside of it (such as churches). The majority of these houses were built for wealthy families who wanted their home to reflect their wealth whilst being practical for everyday living

St James's Square is one example of such a street where there are still many examples of these houses today; however, some have been converted into flats or offices
