Nature and Parks in London
"Another one of London’s Royal Parks, Regent’s Park is named after King George IV, who was originally known as the Prince Regent. Spanning 395 acres, this handsome park is comprised of picturesque gardens, an open air theater, and the London Zoo. The park has a fascinating history that dates back to the early 16th century when it was seized by Henry VIII. It was also bombed in World War II, but has long since been restored to its natural beauty with peaceful landscaped areas and an impressive display of roses at the Queen Mary’s Gardens. A perfect spot for picnics, Regent’s Park offers lots of space to relax with benches, outside tables, and seasonal deck chairs. Alternatively, if it’s summertime, reserve tickets ahead of time to one of several excellent outdoor productions at the Regent’s Park Theatre." - MATADOR_NETWORK
