NOTES: In 1854 Burlington House was acquired from the government, with the northernmost part of the site being used for a new building for London University. Burlington House itself was altered for the use of the Royal Academy, with several learned societies being housed in new buildings in the Piccadilly forecourt. Smirke built the north extension in 1867-69 and carried out the alterations to Burlington House itself between 1872 to 1874.
