Regent's Park Tourist InfoRegent's Park is a 487 acre park in the northern part of central London. It is located partly within the City of Westminster and partly in the London Borough of Camden.Regent's Park is located on what was formerly known as Marylebone Park. It had been Crown property for many centuries and was leased to the Dukes of Portland as a hunting ground. After the lease expired in 1811, the Prince Regent (the future King George IV) commissioned architect John Nash to develop the area. Nash had planned to built a palace there for the Prince Regent, but that plan never took place. Instead terraced houses were built along around the fringes of the park. These elegant white stucco terraces of houses are still standing today. Regent's Park was first opened to the general public in 1845. There are two ring roads encircling Regent's Park, called the Outer Circle and Inner Circle respectively. Within the Inner Circle is Queen Mary's Gardens, created in the 1930s. The site had originally been used as a plant nursery and had later been leased to the Royal Botanic Society. To the north of Regent's Park is Primrose Hill, where one can get panoramic views of Westminster and the City. Like Regent's Park, Primrose Hill is also a Royal Park belonging to the Sovereign.
