Regent’s Park

Regent’s Park was first conceived as a hunting ground by Henry VIII, who fenced off the lands to secure the area from poachers and keep the deer contained for Royal hunts. It became a park as we know it today when leading architect John Nash was called in to landscape the area and design villas in the early 19th century. Thankfully only three out of the planned 56 villas were built in the inner circle, and other land set aside for building eventually became London zoo. Regent’s Park now covers about 410 acres, and is one of London’s ‘Royal Parks.’
