The Regent's Park

The Best London Parks & Where to Eat Nearby

"One of the best things about it is its location on the doorstep of Marylebone, which means great restaurants nearby, but the park itself is among the best for flora and fauna, with six distinct gardens including Queen Mary’s Gardens—famed for roughly 12,000 roses in full bloom during the first two weeks of June—and The Avenue Gardens, whose interplay of flowers, statues and ornaments is worth a visit; animal enthusiasts may also want to stop at London Zoo, a conservation zoo home to hundreds of species within the park." - Andrew Young

Regent’s Park

"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

"Straddling Westminster and Camden, Regent's Park features the largest grass area for sports in London, plus an open air theater, Regent's College, Regent's Canal, the London Zoo, restaurants, cafés, and so much more."

"After a pandemic-induced pause, Frieze London and Frieze Masters are returning to Regent’s Park with galleries from 39 countries. For a new section called “Unworlding,” Palais de Tokyo curator Cédric Fauq commissioned works from emerging artists focused on the creative potential of things falling apart."
