No. 1 Royal Crescent, Georgian townhouse museum in Bath, England.
No. 1 Royal Crescent is a Georgian townhouse in Bath with five windows across its facade and classical proportions in the Palladian style. Inside, ten rooms across multiple floors are furnished with authentic period pieces, decorative elements, and artifacts dating to around 1776.
The building was constructed between 1767 and 1774 by architect John Wood the Younger as part of the fashionable Royal Crescent development. It became a prestigious residence, with Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany living here in 1776.
The house shows everyday life between 1776 and 1796 through furnished rooms that represent both the upper-class living spaces and the servants' quarters. Visitors can observe how different social groups lived and worked within the same building.
Visitors can access audio guides, videos, and photos through the Bloomberg Connects app, with devices available to borrow at the entrance. The rooms are spread across multiple floors, so visitors should be prepared to use stairs throughout the building.
The building's exterior appears as the Featherington family residence in the Netflix series Bridgerton. This connection has made it a popular spot for television viewers exploring filming locations connected to the show.
