1822-5

John Nash

Ink, watercolour and gouache on paper

455 x 690 mm.

An astonishing mix; a classical church with a gothic spire. This wonderful building marks the end of Nash's Regent Street development. It was unpopular in its day with questions about its suitability asked in the House of Commons. Behind is BBC Broadcasting House, the 1930's building and the new extension.

Private collection
