Place:           Regent’s Park and surrounds

Price:           £12.50 per person

Famous in the 19th century, Regent's Park. with its stucco terraces made to look like palaces, is the grandest and most picturesque attempt at city planning in Europe.

Pushed through by the Prince Regent working with his architect John Nash from 1811 to the late 1820s, Regent Street was built as a carriage drive to take the great and the good from their new built homes in the Park to Westminster where they would take their place governing the nation.

Among other sites, we will see and learn more about the grand Nash buildings still standing at the south end of Regent Street in Carlton House Terrace and the Haymarket.

Event kindly organised by Sarah Ryan
