    Architecture in UK

    British architecture is one of the most unique in the world. It is highly


    influenced by the 15th century and is home to some of the most historic
    building styles in the world. Below are some of these architectural styles that
    dominate British architecture and add to the British appeal.

    Tudor

    The name Tudor is derived from the period in which these buildings were built.
    It started between the 15th and 17th centuries during the Medieval period of
    architecture. The features of this architectural style include a low arch, angled
    roof, grouped windows, and masonry chimneys.

    Elizabethan Architecture

    The Elizabethan architectural style derives from the period of Elizabeth’s reign
    when many houses were built in this style, and only the wealthier people lived
    in it. The glass design dominates the exterior as a way of filling the house with
    natural light.
    Baroque

    Baroque architectural design is mostly influenced by Italian architecture, and


    Italian designers started to build them way back in the 17th century. Examples
    of such architecture include St Paul’s Cathedral and Greenwich Hospital. The
    Baroque architectural style was mostly adapted by English churches.

    Georgian

    Roman architecture was the greatest influence during the Georgian era, around
    1780 and 1820. The classical exterior architecture is what makes the Georgian
    period unique, along with a detailed interior design. What makes the Georgian
    design special are the high sectioned ceilings with characteristic colors such as
    lavender, pink, pea green, and light blue.

    Post-WWII

    The post-war period in the architecture of British buildings set a new era of
    architecture by moving on from older building styles but incorporating some bits
    and pieces of vintage architecture. Some old buildings were renovated and
    embodied modernism along with international style.

    Old castles also share a proportion of architectural heritage in the


    UK. Among many of them, some of the most beautiful and most visited by
    tourists are Windsor Castle, Edinburgh Castle, Leeds Castle, Alnwick Castle,
    Cardiff Castle, Bodiam Castle, Stirling Castle, Caernarfon Castle, Warwick
    Castle, Bamburgh Castle, etc.
