The Majesty of London's Renowned Regents Park - Part I

The famous Regents Park is considered to be one of the most beautiful outdoor tourist attractions in London and an afternoon's visitation to it's sprawling greens and lush gardens simply affirms this bold statement.

Regent’s Park is one of London’s eight Royal Parks and is named after Prince Regent, sometimes referred to as the playboy prince, who later became King George IV from 1762 – 1830).

Also being a personal favourite of mine, a trip to Regent’s Park never fails to be a great day out. I never cease to be amazed at the fact that there are in total 410 acres of lush, beautiful gardens right here, in the heart of London. So if you're every in dire need of some fresh air and breathing space, you couldn't go far wrong by taking a nice, relaxing stroll within it's grounds.

There being only one week before my parents returned to China, I decided to take them on a particularly glorious sunny Saturday afternoon here.

(A beautiful and sunny day on our way to Regents Park. Will it last though?)

The park is located in the heart of Central London, near St. Pancras, Marylebone and Paddington. Very close to other such popular tourist attractions like Madame Tussauds and Camden Town. My feeling is that every part of the park has its own unique charm to it, due to the distinctly different looks of each section. Which is something that keeps drawing me back to it again and again.

Like all the big parks in London, Regent’s park is full of wide, open spaces and lush green grass. You'll find many huge, broad trees scattered around that should provide plenty of shade in case of an unexpected downpour. The venue is blissfully tranquil. What more could you ask for?
