Regency Square, Brighton

Regency Square, Brighton

Regency Square, sometimes referred to as Belle Vue Field, is a group of historic residences and hotels comprised of 69 separate houses built between 1818 and 1832. The square was built by Joshua Flesher Hanson. It is believed that the architectural design was drawn by father-and-son-team Amon and Amon Henry Wilds.

It is said that St Albans House, which is at 131 King's Road, was the most interesting house in the square. It was designed by Amon Henry Wilds with interior design carried out by William Izard. This house was thought to be one of the most sought after social venues in the early 19th century.

Visitors to Brighton cannot enter the private residences but they can enjoy the central garden. Though it was created for residents in the original plans, it became a public park area after World War II.

Most of the buildings in Regency Square have been designated a Listed building Grade II.
