History of Regent's Park
King Henry VIII acquired Regent's Park in 1538 and turned it into a hunting park known as Marylebone Park. The venue was under the authority of the Monarch until 1649. In 1811, King George IV ordered architect John Nash to design the park to accommodate the public, as well as be a summer Palace for Prince Regent. This is why we know it today by the name of Regent's Park. In 1835, access was given to the general public to visit Regent's Park for two days a week. But now, the Regent's Park has also become a place for national celebrations and parades. -
