- When in doubt, Wikipedia. There's plenty of info there and in any number of books. I would guess there are hundreds of websites which could help.
- Have a look at pictures from Buckingham and Kensington Palaces since most of their interiors have not drastically changed from that period. Also some of the finest Georgian architecture can be found in the city of Bath. It is in the Palladian style. There are various links on the web for all of these.
- I attach some links that may help you. http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/periods_styles/18thcentury/index.html http://www.geffrye-museum.org.uk/virtualtour/gardens/18thcentury/ http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=18th+century+interiors&ndsp=20&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&start=0&sa=N
- The 18th Century was the Hanoverian Period in Britain, when the Hanoverian Dynasty ruled (all the Georges I, II, III, and IV and William IV) The arcitecture from the period is called either Georgian (after the name of the Kings of Great Britain), or Neoclassical. This was the period when interests in Greek and Roman architecture and design became popular across Britain. Here's some links for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_architecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassical_architecture Also try just a google image search of these architectural styles. When I did it, there were numerous images that would certainly help you out.
