The Regent's Park





The Regent's Park is one of the royal parks of London. It is in the north zone of the downtown, part in City of Westminster and part in the London Borough of Camden.
The park, of 2 km ², is composed principally by green spaces opened in that one finds a wide range of facilities and services of free time including gardens, a lake with aquatic birds and an area for boats, fields of sport and infantile zones. The extreme north-east of the park shelters the London Zoo, the most ancient zoological garden of the world. Regent's Park has also floral and botanical gardens between which stands out the Queen Mary's Gardens, inside the Inner Circle, where also there is the Open Air Theatre. On the other hand, in the park also they find the London Central Mosque, known also as Regent's Park's mosque, and the Winfield House, official residence of the ambassador of The United States in the United Kingdom and the Regent's College.
The park has an exterior so called round the Outer Circle (4,3 km) and an interior so called round the Inner Circle, which surrounds the area most taken care of the park.
The park is reserved for only people. The sides south, this and great part of the west they are surrounded with elegant rows of white row-houses designed by John Nash.
