Regent's Park
“London’s most beautifully landscaped park” (Glinert 350). Named for the Prince Regent, who became King George IV in 1820, the 487-acre park was once a hunting ground for Henry VIII. Architect John Nash designed the park in the early nineteenth century to be a wealthy housing estate, but many of the planned homes were never built. The area was opened as a public park in 1841. A canal runs through its northern end, which has also been home to the London Zoo since 1828.
