C. R. Cockerell trained in the London architectural practice of his father,
Samuel Pepys Cockerell. Later he worked on the rebuilding of Covent Garden
Theatre as assistant to Robert Smirke, followed by an architectural tour
of Europe (he discovered reliefs from the Temple of Phigalia, on show
in the British Museum).
Charles Cockerell set up his own practice on his return to London in 1817.
