Clarence House in London was designed by John Nash for the Duke of Clarence, later King William IV. The infobox and text agree on construction from 1825 to 1827. The article calls the style Regency and describes a pale stucco facade. Little of Nash's original structure remains after Blitz bomb damage. The house has four stories and an elevation of 52 feet (16 m).
After William IV it passed to his sister Princess Augusta Sophia, then to the Duchess of Kent, and later to Prince Alfred and Prince Arthur. It served as Red Cross and St John Ambulance headquarters in World War II. Princess Elizabeth lived there from 1947 and the Queen Mother from 1953 to 2002. Charles moved in during 2003.
It is the London residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. It is open to visitors for about a month each summer, usually August, and the article gives no hours or ticket prices.
