| Additional Info

| History and Royalty
| |
| The Regent's Park is a masterpiece of landscape design and town planning, although, for much of its history it was farmland and hunting chase.
| |
| The area was originally titled Marylebone Park and formed part of the vast forest of Middlesex, providing a perfect habitat for deer. These deer captured the attention of King Henry VIII and in1538 he seized the park, turning 554 acres into a hunting chase.
| |
| By 1660, hunting had declined in popularity, and for the following 150 years the land was leased by the Crown to tenant farmers.
| |
| In the early 1800s London was expanding rapidly and it was seen that rather than farming, building on Marylebone Park would be more profitable. The new Prince Regent, later King George IV, desired a new summer palace set in exclusive grounds in north London. Influential architect John Nash produced a bold scheme which appealed to the Prince. The area, renamed The Regent's Park, was designed as a huge circle with a lake, a canal and the new royal residence within the park. A fine processional road would link the residence to the Prince's other home at St James's Palace. To pay for the scheme, Nash planned a further 56 villas in the park and a series of grand Regency terraces around the edges.
| |
| Much of the complete plan, including the royal palace, was never implemented; only 8 villas were built, and the canal was relocated. However, many elements of Nash's scheme did survive. The processional route to St James's Palace was built and would become the famous Regent's Street.
| |
| Within the park, each villa was surrounded by trees to give the residents the feel of living in a private estate, and the terraces looked out on what appeared to be a country park.
| |
| Initially, entry to the park was permissible only to residents of the villas and terraces; namely nobility, admirals, generals and other people of distinction, as well as the 'carriage set' who took part in the weekly carriage rides. Eventually, however, access was widened to the public.
| |
| Little has changed in the appearance of The Regent's Park the past 150 years.
