Regents Park History

Together with Hyde Park, Regents Park was the hunting ground

of King Henry III. The wild bulls, boar and deer that roamed the

land were inviting prey, and although hard to imagine, it was

the scene of many Royal extravagances.

Also hard to imagine is a different name. Previously known as

Marylebone Park, it wasnt until the 17th century that it took up

the name Regents Park, due to the interest shown by the future

King. The parks arrangement and landscaping can be credited

to architect John Nash, who was commissioned by Prince

Regent to create a master plan for the area. Nash designed a

vast, round park of over 160 hectares, surrounded by palatial

terraces, a lake, a canal and an original plan for 58 villas,

although only eight were ever built.

Regents Park became the home to the now-dissolved Royal

Botanic Society but it remains the headquarters of the

Zoological Society. Now the park is best known as the location

for London Zoo.

Regents Park Life

Regents Park is located in the NW1 postcode and borders

Primrose Hill, Camden Town, Marylebone and Fitzrovia. The

park itself offers a number of lifestyle attractions. The open

air theatre is the only professional outdoor venue of its

kind, while the annual Freezer Art Fair takes places in the

autumn in the south of the park.

While central Londons sprawl is accessible by foot, Regent

s Park is well served by public transport. The nearest

Underground stations are Regents Park itself, Baker Street

and Great Portland Street, while overground services run

from Camden Road and Marylebone.

Residents of Regents Park can often be found in neighbouring Primrose Hill, where there is more of a

village vibe and a caf culture. The streets of Regents Park itself are lined with five-star hotels - perfect

places in which to take afternoon tea - as well as bistros and boutiques. Residents take great pleasure in

walking through the quaint streets of NW1, with the stucco-fronted terraces providing a stunning

backdrop.

Regents Park Property Profile

Unlike many of the other Royal Parks, Regent's Park does

have a few rare opportunities to live within the grounds

itself. There is a collection of private residences around

the Inner and Outer Circle of Regent's Park and they are

sought-after by extremely distinguished buyers. The

Royal Parks are developing a number of lodge properties

within the park from 2014 onwards, and each dwelling

will be refurbished to a high standard.

Buyers looking for houses for sale in Regent's Park are

often swayed by the grandeur of the terraces. Almost

exclusively designed by architect John Nash, with a few

examples of Decimus Burtons work, the rows of white

stucco-fronted dwellings capture the refined elegance of

early 1820s. The great terraces include Gloucester Gate,Cumberland Terrace, Chester Terrace, Cambridge

Terrace, York Terrace, Cornwall Terrace, Clarence

Terrace, Sussex Place, Hanover Terrace and Kent

Terrace. To the south of the park are Park Square and

Park Crescent - also fine examples of John Nash's design.

What our Estate Agents love about Regents Park

Royalty in real life- Almost everything about Regents

Park has a royal connection, from the areas name itself

to the people that live there. The imposing dwellings have

an impressive list of current owners, including sultans

and princes.

Skilfully renovated properties - with so many of the

buildings bearing Grade I or II listed status, the character

and details have been well preserved. This doesnt mean,

however, that the properties are not fit for modern life,

with lavish additions such as cinema rooms, temperature-

controlled wine cellars and home offices commonplace.

Great for the green fingered - Regents Park is amagnet for anyone interest in horticulture. Queen Marys

Garden is home to the largest collection of roses in

London, while the Regent's Park Allotment Garden is

open to the public.

be compared to purchasing a piece of history. Our

Regents Park estate agents say the network of terraces

and squares around the Inner and Outer Circles of the

It is vital to choose an estate agent with a good

working knowledge of NW1, says Andrew Ellinas, the

Managing Director of Sandfords. Many of the homes

have been in the same family for years, or are listed

with English Heritage, so buyers have to understand the

gravitas of their purchase.
