Royal Crescent is one of the most theatrical addresses in Britain. Built between 1767 and 1774 by John Wood the Younger, the 30 Grade I-listed townhouses sweep across the hillside above Bath in a single, unified arc of honey-coloured Bath stone. It was the first crescent of its kind in the country, and it set off a fashion that spread across Georgian Britain.

The uniformity is an elegant illusion. Each original buyer purchased a stretch of the façade and then hired their own architect to build whatever they liked behind it, producing what locals called "Queen Anne fronts and Mary-Anne backs." The rear is a pleasing jumble of mismatched roof heights and extensions.

VoiceMap's tours use Royal Crescent to trace two parallel stories: one about the Freemason theories woven into Bath's Georgian street plan and another about its second life as a filming location for Bridgerton, where No. 1 became the Featherington family home, complete with CGI balconies that exist only on screen.
