An Iconic Landmark: Regent Park Marylebone

Regent’s Park Marylebone

To the north of Marylebone lies Regent Park, one of London’s many royal parks well-known for its landscape design, much of which has remained the same in its long existence numbering over 150 years. The park has survived bombings during World War II, served as an entertainment venue for visiting dignitaries in the past, and was even briefly converted to a hunting chase by King Henry VIII in 1538.

While Regent’s Park’s illustrious heritage is of interest to anyone seeking to rent in Marylebone, the character of Regent’s Park’s area is of greater concern to future residents. Here is a look at some of the perks of living in proximity to this iconic landmark.
