Clarence Terrace

Clarence Terrace is a row of three connected residential houses in Marylebone linked by columned passageways with ornate facade details throughout. The buildings stand three stories tall above rusticated basement entrances and feature Corinthian decorative elements across their full elevation.

The terrace was built in the early 1820s by developer James Burton and designed by architect Decimus Burton as part of London's urban expansion. Its name honors King William IV and reflects the royal connections of London's development during this period.

The terrace displays hallmarks of Regency-period residential design with its colonnades and decorative elements typical of wealthy London neighborhoods from that era. These features reflect how affluent residents expected their homes to look during the early 1800s.

The property remains private residential buildings viewable from the street but strictly protected as a historic site and not open for interior access. Visitors can appreciate the architecture and ornamental details from the public street while respecting the residential nature of the location.

This is the most compact terrace among all those surrounding Regent's Park, elegantly condensing the typical architecture of this affluent area into a smaller footprint. The three connected houses demonstrate how skillfully architects could maximize the use of limited space without sacrificing decorative refinement.
