Perhaps it's a shame that Nash's best handiwork is hidden at the back. On the other hand, anyone who wants to see more of Nash's vision doesn't have far to look. John Nash left his signature all over London. From churches to theatres to sweeping terraces. Throughout George IV's reign, Nash gradually transformed Buckingham House into the now-renamed Buckingham Palace. The new State Rooms were designed to receive dignitaries, and impress upon them a suitably inspiring image of Britain's place in the world.
