review of The Regent's Park with Primrose Hill
Pompous and gorgeous, there’s nowhere like it in spring. Picnic on the grass, wander through the gardens and soak up one of London's best greenspaces.

Right in the heart of London, Regent's Park is a jewel in London's crown. Aside from rose gardens, formal gardens, lakes, reedbeds and wetland, at the weekend Regent's Park hosts a variety of impromptu football matches. It's also where you'll find the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, open during summer only.

Latest 5 reviews of The Regent's Park with Primrose Hill
A great place to relax in the heart of London.
A beautiful sanctuary in the heart of London.
I have visited the park on three visits to London
in January.
Even in early winter, the beauty shines. Roses
were still on the bushes,
Take a relaxing walk to escape the hustle of
the city. Or just hang out reading the paper.
There is the London Zoo, an open air theatre,
a bird filled lake, and Regent's College located
there.
It must be gorgeous during the warmer months.
It is a short walk from Madame Tussaud's,
Marlybone Road, Baker St., and Park Rd.
Enjoy.

Green Space Delight
Despite having lived in London for years in the past I had never visited Regent's Park while there: a weekend break and a stay at the Danubis Hotel enabled three days exploring (including one full day at London Zoo).
The park is an oasis of calm in the city: a superbly maintained, huge open space with several small cafes and facillities for runners and other sports people. The park team must be dedicated souls, tending to some formal gardens while resisting the urge to cut down wild plant reas, thus encouraging insects for the benefit of the park's huge range of bird life. I have never seen so many heron anywhere, a bird you normally associate with wild spaces in the UK.
Definitely worth a visit: take in the Honest sausage for lunch or a late breakfast, organic fayre is served.

Lovely way to spend an afternoon
Well I am not sure what exactly "tourist pollution" is in the heart of one of the biggest cities in the world, but I can tell you that despite large crowds on some days this is still a beautiful way to spend your afternoon. Lovely gardens, pretty lakes, open fields, lots of trees and fine little cafes make this a less hectic London diversion.

Regents Park
I was born very close to this lovely park. Unfortunately these days it is spoilt by tourist pollution. If you really want to enjoy this park (tourist or not) go early in the morning before the masses arrive. In April there are so many beautiful cherry blossoms and October can be very pleasant. The park is well kept with beautiful flower displays (the gardeners should get a big bonus) and the ponds are very nice.
As I said it is spoilt by tourist pollution (as the whole of London is) but if you go there early it is a really beautiful park.

outdoor theatre
The place to see an outdoor play in the summer. Comfortable seats, all good. Great food available in the theatre grounds for a pre-play picnic. Don't bring your food, it won't be as good or cheap as what is offered. This is a don't miss if you're spending 3 or more days in London.
