Watercolour print of one of the UK's best terraces. The British Academy occupies the historic premises at 10-11 Carlton House Terrace in central London, a Grade I listed structure designed by John Nash and built between 1827 and 1833. Originally part of the terrace replacing the Prince Regent’s Carlton House palace, these townhouses have housed notable figures like Prime Minister William Gladstone and the Ridley family before the Academy moved in during 1998.
 
No. 10 served as a WWI hospital for officers and later hosted parts of the Commonwealth Secretariat until the Academy’s arrival. The Academy displays over 100 works, including paintings by David Hockney and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, alongside ceramics, prints, and sculptures.
