Clarence House is a royal residence located near The Mall in the City of Westminster. It has been the primary London residence of Charles III since 2003. Clarence House was built in 1825–1827, adjacent to St James's Palace, for the royal Duke of Clarence, the future King William IV. The four-storey house is faced in pale render. Over the years, it has undergone extensive remodelling and reconstruction, most notably after being heavily damaged in the Second World War by enemy bombing during The Blitz. Little remains of the original structure designed by John Nash. It is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England. The house is open to visitors for about one month each summer, usually in August. Like William IV, Charles III remained at Clarence House when he became king. In June 2026, it was officially announced that Charles III and Queen Camilla would continue to reside at Clarence House, while Buckingham Palace would serve as the headquarters of the monarchy, where they would hold official events. Princess Elizabeth, the future Elizabeth II, had Clarence House as her official residence from 1947 until her accession to the throne in 1952.
