Rating: 8,9/10 (746 votes) Regent's Park (Regent's Park) in the very center of the English capital stretches like a green oasis. This piece of nature came about through human involvement. The park's project was created by the famous architect John Nash, who proposed a daring option for those times to improve the appearance of the city. At the urging of the Prince Regent, he developed a plan for a real garden city. Regent's Park was supposed to house mansions surrounded by blooming greenery and reminiscent of a Victorian suburb. In 1835, the park became available to the public. The Prince Regent expressed great delight and was about to surpass Napoleon's plans in construction. Unfortunately, not all of the villas from the project were built, and those that were brought to life have been little preserved. The modern Regent's Park is one of the Royal Parks in London. This is a green area of 29 hectares with picturesque green lawns, sculpted trees of interesting shape and numerous inhabitants in the form of lake birds. In addition to this splendor, guests of the park will have a panoramic view of the city, which opens up from the top of the hill. The first thing they pay attention to when walking in Regent's Park is the abundance of water. The formal gardens are surrounded by many fountains. Avenue Gardens are recognized as the most beautiful formal gardens in the world. The greenery of the alleys becomes a special background for them. A large number of trees also draws attention: chestnuts, lindens, tulip trees, junipers grow here. Hornbeam, yew, boxwood and barberry form picturesque hedges. The most interesting of them is the"rope curb" - a low hedge of a special shape. In addition to natural decorations, there are also man-made art objects: stone vases and bowls. After the formal garden, you can explore the Chester Gate and the magnificent 19th century Chester Terrace. Behind them lies a shady garden and a magnificent triumphal arch, decorated with a bust of the architect Nash. Also worth a look in this part of the park is the Cumberland Terrace, also built in the 19th century, decorated with Ionic columns and statues of female figures in the Empire style. If you walk to the Broad Alley, you can find an elegant Victorian Gothic fountain with a plaque dedicated to Queen Victoria. Not far from here, near the northern border of the park, is the famous London Zoo. Of the architectural structures in the park, the most interesting is the Sussex Place mansion, Villa Hill, St. John's Lodge and Fraser Lodge. They are surrounded by the blooming splendor of Queen Mary's Gardens with a luxurious rose garden, many flower beds, where 45 species of ducks are found.
