Regent's Park

Park in London, England, covering 188 ha/464 acres. It contains London Zoo. Regent's Canal runs through the park, which was laid out by John Nash for the Prince Regent, later George IV. Grand terraced residences, which overlook the park, were designed by Nash and by Decimus Burton (1800–81).

The park was developed on the site of Marylebone Gardens and pasture land. It formed part of a scheme, begun in 1812, to connect the Prince's residence (Carlton House) in the Mall, via Regent Street, with another residence (never built) in the new park. The park was opened to the public in 1838.

Bedford College (now part of Royal Holloway College) was located here 1909–85. There is an open-air theatre in the Inner Circle of the park.
