Regency architecture is a style that emerged in England during the Regency era (1811-1820), and continued into the early 19th century. It is characterized by its elegant and refined neo-classical style, with a focus on symmetry, proportion, and geometric shapes. Regency architecture is known for its use of Greek and Roman motifs, such as columns, pediments, and arches, and its use of stucco, marble, and other high-quality materials. The style was popularized by architects such as John Nash and Thomas Cubitt, and can be seen in many notable buildings in London, such as the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, Buckingham Palace, and Regent Street.
