Hedsor House was built in 1166. It became the home of Princess Augusta and very regularly receives crowned heads. Designed by Sir William Chamberts, an architect from Somerset House in London, it was later modified, notably following a fire in 1795. Frequented by Queen Victoria during her reign, Hedsor House also served as a base for US Air Force espionage during the Cold War. It now hosts filming and various events. Celebrities like Elton John, Jason Stahtam, Keira Knightley and the Beckham couple are among its regulars.
