Brandenburgh House

Dating back to the reign of Charles I when it was built for Nicholas Crispe, the house gained its best-known name as the residence of Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach and his English wife Elizabeth Craven there from 1792.

It gained its greatest attention in 1820 to 1821 when Caroline of Brunswick, the estranged wife of George IV, lived there following her return to Britain after six years abroad.

[3] Although the government presented evidence of her adultery with her Italian lover Bartolomeo Pergarmi, the attempt to divorce her collapsed in the House of Lords.

Caroline died in the house on 7 August just a week after the coronation of her husband to which she had been refused admission.

A road running from Hammersmith station to the Riverside Studios is called Queen Caroline Street.
