Regent's Park and Regent Street in London are named after him. This period is known as the English Regency, or just the Regency. The title was conferred by the Regency Act on February 5, 1811. Subject to certain limitations for a period, the Prince Regent was able to exercise the full powers of the King. The precedent of the Regency crisis in the previous decade was followed, from which George III recovered before it was necessary to appoint a Regent. The Prince of Wales continued as regent until his father's death in 1820, when he became George IV. Familiarly nicknamed "Prinny", George was unpouplar in many quarters, and was the subject of scurrilous cartoons in the press of the day relating to his various extravagances.
