Clarence House
Stable Yard, London SW1

Clarence House, standing beside St James's Palace, was designed by John Nash in 1827 for William, Duke of Clarence. 

The younger brother and heir of George IV, William continued to live here after succeeding to the throne as William IV in 1830. 

His successor, Queen Victoria, was the first monarch to live at Buckingham Palace. 

Until her death in 2002, Clarence House was the Queen Mother's London residence. On her birthday, when well-wishers gathered outside Clarence House, the Queen Mother and members of the Royal Family traditionally came outside to watch the marching band and acknowledge the crowds.

The house has been refurbished by the Prince of Wales and is now his official London residence.
