The Regent's Park, designed
by John Nash, covers 395 acres and includes Queen Mary's
Gardens which features more than 30,000 roses of 400
varieties, as well as the gloriously restored William
Andrews Nestfield's Avenue Gardens.
With excellent sports facilities spanning nearly 100 acres
it includes the largest outdoor sports area in central
London.
The park also houses the Open Air Theatre, London Zoo,
Primrose Hill, the country's largest free to access
waterfowl collection and 100 species of wild bird.
This is a large, open area with splashes of
plantings that line the walks. We did not visit (actually
were not aware of) Queen Mary's Garden which sounds very
nice indeed. Oh, well, perhaps on our next visit to
London...
