Some facts from history…..

Many years ago it was created as Henry VIII’s hunting park.

In 1810 it became an amusement place for

royal family .

The  architect John Nash created a

masterplan for the area.

Nash originally envisaged a palace for the

Prince and a number of grand detached villas for his friends, but when this was put into action from 1818 onwards, the palace and most of the villas were dropped.

In 1838 it was opened for those who wanted to see and visit this place.

In 1836 on the territory of the park

there was Bishop's Observatory.

A place to visit .

Regent’s Park is a wonderful and popular place among the citizens of London and visitors from all over the world.

In the park you can rent pitches for playing football and rugby and tennis courts.

In summer people

usually rent a boat.

In the lakes of Regent’s Park

there are a lot of birds.

In the middle of the park you can see a rosary.

modern flats nearby.
