Regent's Park
Regent's Park is one of London's most popular spots - a huge expanse of greenery that transports the visitor away from the bustle of city life. Confiscated from the church by Henry VIII, the park is a well-designed example of Georgian landscaping.
With 400 rose varieties in the formal layout of Queen Mary's Gardens, an open air theatre where Shakespeare is performed in summer, the ever-popular canal, and the London Zoo in the north-eastern corner, Regent's Park has something to offer everyone.
