Ten picture-perfect Georgian homes for sale in London — from classical townhouses to character cottages

Call it the Bridgerton effect or just good taste — Georgian architecture has plenty of fans and precious few detractors.

These 17th and early 18th century homes tend to command a premium over their newer Victorian neighbours, thanks to typically grander proportions and relative rarity.

Though you’ll find clusters of townhouses in conservation areas and central garden squares, London’s distribution is a far cry from the homogeny of Edinburgh’s New Town or chocolate box Bath.

Symmetry, flat façades and shorter sash windows on upper floors are the tell-tale signifiers, but the odd bay window might throw you — and it gets especially fuzzy in the 1830s, on the Victorian Georgian ‘cusp’.

We’ve hand-picked ten of the best Georgian homes on the market now, from detached family homes to beautifully decorated apartments in Bloomsbury and beyond.
