Regents Park
The Regent's Park
The Regent's Park is a Grade I registered Royal Park encompassing 171.04 hectares in north-west London, designed in 1811 by master architect John Nash as an idyllic garden city landscape.
Originally part of Henry VIII's Marylebone hunting park, the area was masterplanned in 1811 by John Nash under the patronage of the Prince Regent (later George IV). Nash envisioned a grand parkland framed by neoclassical palatial stucco terraces, a ceremonial lake, and aristocratic villas set in nature.
The park incorporates Queen Mary's Gardens—home to London's largest collection of over 12,000 roses—as well as the Open Air Theatre, formal Victorian flower avenues, and the Regent's Canal skirting its northern boundary.
Protected at Grade I on the Historic England Register (List Entry 1000246), The Regent's Park remains one of the finest surviving examples of Regency town planning and urban landscape architecture.
