Julia What places would you recommend that are related to Heyer or feature in her books?

Off the top of my head I can only think of the Brighton Pavilion in Regency Buck.

I plan on visiting the UK sometime and adding some Heyer places to my list :)

Hi Julia

I did visit The Pavilion because of Regency Buck.

I also went to Bath because of Bath Tangle & Black Sheep

Jackie Bath is one of the places I'd like to visit because of all the action that happen there in Heyer novels.

QNPoohBear Mayfair in London
Hyde Park- Rotten Row/The Serpentine
Green Park

Bath
The Assembly Rooms/Museum of Fashion
The Royal Crescent
the Pump Room (Do visit the Roman Baths Museum too)
The whole downtown area of the city is a Georgian masterpiece for any Austen/Heyer/Regency lover to delight in.

Elizabeth Grant Continental fans of Heyer's Georgian novels may be interested in an exhibition that's currently on at the Mauritshuis (The Hague, Netherlands): https://www.mauritshuis.nl/en/press-r...

Here's an excerpt from the press release:
The Grand Tour – Destination Italy
Young aristocrats on their ‘gap year’

From 18 September 2025 to 4 January 2026 the Mauritshuis will be presenting The Grand Tour – Destination Italy, featuring masterpieces from three of the UK’s most esteemed stately homes: Burghley House, Holkham Hall and Woburn Abbey. The art in this exhibition was collected on Grand Tours in the 17th and 18th centuries, when young British aristocrats finished their education by spending several years travelling in continental Europe. The highlights will include an impressive portrait of Thomas William Coke (Holkham Hall) by Pompeo Batoni, work by Angelica Kauffman (Burghley House) and two grand Venetian cityscapes by Canaletto (Woburn Abbey), all of them on display in the Netherlands for the first time.
