Regent’s Park is a 410-acre park in north-west London that was originally a hunting ground for Henry VIII and then a royals-only retreat until 1845. Today, it is one London's most popular open spaces and boasts a wide range of facilities and amenities, including manicured flowering gardens, an open-air theater, sports pitches with tennis courts, a tranquil lake with a heronry, waterfowl and a boating area where rowing boats can be hired. Designed by John Nash in 1811, the park is home to the London Zoo, vintage bandstands, charming cafés, including the well-known Garden Café, and children's playgrounds with a sandpit and a timber treehouse area for older kids. The 256-foot Primrose Hill is on the northern side of the park and boasts spectacular views of central London.
