While the Royal Crescent itself doesn't contain an obelisk, this refers to the important Beau Nash Obelisk located in nearby Queen Square, which forms part of the broader Georgian architectural sequence that includes the Royal Crescent. Erected in 1738 in honor of Frederick, Prince of Wales, this 70-foot monument (now truncated after storm damage in 1815) represents the Georgian love of classical references and commemorative architecture. The obelisk serves as a focal point in Queen Square's garden, demonstrating the Georgian principle of creating vista and visual hierarchy in urban spaces. In the context of Bridgerton filming locations, Queen Square with its obelisk provides additional authentic Georgian streetscapes that complement the Royal Crescent scenes. The monument reflects the same classical taste and royal connections that permeate the world of the ton, making it a fitting part of the broader Georgian Bath landscape used in the series.
