About Regents Park

Regent’s Park is one of London’s most elegant royal parks, located on the northern edge of Westminster and shared with Camden. It is known for formal gardens, wide avenues, sports fields, lakes, open lawns, London Zoo and beautiful surrounding architecture. The area offers a refined green escape close to Marylebone, Baker Street, St John’s Wood, Camden and Fitzrovia. The park was designed as part of John Nash’s grand nineteenth-century vision for London, and its terraces and crescents remain among the capital’s most impressive architectural settings. Queen Mary’s Gardens, with its famous rose collections, is one of the park’s highlights. The boating lake, open-air theatre, sports pitches and walking paths make it popular with families, visitors, runners and local residents. Regent’s Park is also close to several major attractions, including Madame Tussauds, Lord’s Cricket Ground, Primrose Hill and the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street. Transport links are available from Regent’s Park, Baker Street, Great Portland Street and St John’s Wood stations. For visitors, Regent’s Park is ideal for gardens, architecture, outdoor theatre, family days out and peaceful walks. It is elegant, spacious and beautifully connected to central and north-west London.
