Congratulations on the beautiful Savile Row store opening. Every time when I saw Jeremy and he kindly showed the progress of pictures at No. 14 Savile Row which used to be Hardy Amies, the most elegant Georgian building at Savile Row. Now we are at the place where his dream came true! @mrjhackett @hackettlondon #savilerow #georgianbuilding #beauty #dream #bespoke https://www.instagram.com/p/B5H4FXQJNY_/?igshid=1t7b4evxlyvv

Since I am spending lots of time house hunting in the West I’ve been missing these East London Georgian townhouses.

Day 256 of 365 Photo Challenge. Somerset House is a large Neoclassical building situated on the south side of the Strand in central London, overlooking the River Thames, just east of Waterloo Bridge. The Georgian quadrangle, which was built on the site of a Tudor palace belonging to the Duke of Somerset, was designed by Sir William Chambers in 1776. It was further extended with Victorian outer wings to the east and west in 1831 and 1856 respectively. Somerset House stood directly on the River Thames until the Victoria Embankment was built in the late 1860s. The main courtyard, which had been used as a civil-service car park, and the main terrace overlooking the Thames were refurbished and opened to the public, these alterations being overseen by the conservation architects Donald Insall & Associates. Grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund financed the conversion of the South Wing between 1999 and 2003: a visitor centre featuring audio-visual displays on the history of the building, the gilded state barge of the Lord Mayor of the City of London and a shop and café were opened, overlooking the river. The Gilbert Collection of decorative arts, and the Hermitage Rooms, which stage exhibitions of items loaned from the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, moved into the same area.[65] The last Hermitage exhibition took place in 2007 and the Gilbert Collection galleries closed in 2008; the collection moved into new galleries at the Victoria and Albert Museum in June 2009. Somerset House now puts on a programme of art exhibitions, drawing on various sources. In stages from 2009 to 2013, HM Revenue and Customs withdrew from the other parts of the building; since March 2013 the Somerset House Trust has had oversight of the entire complex. Its management policy has been to rent out the upper floors at a commercial rate to "creative businesses", while devoting the ground floor to "public realm" activities. The trust receives no public subsidy continued on Mathew Rooney Photography Facebook page #365photochallenge #photooftheday #somersethouse #london #georgianbuilding #architecture #waterfeature (at Somerset House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XWgGshakn/?igshid=lco1ywr1qptb
