On a fine day, a visit to Regent’s Park to eat your lunch with the children whilst you plan your afternoon’s activities is a really good idea, especially as well as good things to see in the park, its also very near other major tourist attractions.
On a fine day, a visit to Regent’s Park to eat your lunch with the children whilst you plan your afternoon’s activities is a really good idea, especially as well as good things to see in the park, its also very near other major tourist attractions. Regent's Park was a royal hunting ground for Henry VIII, though during the reign of the Prince Regent who became George 1V John Nash upgraded the park, adding classical style villas and a palace for the Prince. Inside the park's Outer Circle, a network of pathways lead to the must see Queen Mary's Gardens (good in July and August) while the long and straight Broad Walk runs from Regent's Park Tube station all the way up to Primrose Hill. Regent's Park has a boating lake, bandstand, tennis courts and, during the summer, an open air theatre which stages Shakespearean plays. Regent’s Park is quite near to London Zoo, Madame Tussauds and the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
