With 487 acres and miles of
scenic walkways, Regent’s Park was previously hunting grounds for King Henry
VIII. In 1811 George IV (Previously Prince Regent) commissioned a dear friend
and architectural genius, John Nash, to redesign the Park. Today the most
“civilized” park has many things to do including Queen Mary Rose Garden near
Boating lake, boating on Boating lake where there is plenty of wildlife and
waterfowl to see as well as tennis, a bandstand, an open theatre where musicals
and Shakespeare plays are performed, and a park for the children. Regents Park has the largest open area
for sports in London and is also home to Regent’s College. Near by is Madame
Tussad’s and the London Planetarium. On the north side is the London Zoo,
Regents Canal and Camden Town and on the east side is London’s Central Islamic Center
and Mosque. North of the Park is Primrose Hill which has some of the best views
of the City.
