Where to stay in Regent's Park
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
The park sets the choice. Rooms on the Marylebone side put St Marylebone Parish Church, Madame Tussauds and the Sherlock Holmes Museum within a short walk, while the Camden Town flank leans toward All Saints, Camden Town and the Jewish Museum, London. St John's Wood Church and Lord's Old Ground mark another approach, with London Zoo on the park's edge.
Villas edge the parkland. The Holme, St John's Lodge and Hanover Lodge stand within the park, among the private structures on its ground.

About Regent's Park
What are the main landmarks in Regent's Park?
The periphery holds the institutions. London Zoo sits on the park's edge alongside Regent's University, and Madame Tussauds, the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the Jewish Museum, London draw the other queues nearby. Churches ring the ground: St Marylebone Parish Church, Holy Trinity Church of Marylebone, St Cyprian's, Clarence Gate, St John's Wood Church and All Saints, Camden Town.
Cricket left its mark. Lord's Old Ground and Lord's Middle Ground carry the cricket names, while the John F. Kennedy Memorial, the Joseph Lister Memorial and the Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar Memorial stand among the commemorations.
What is the history of Regent's Park?
Royal ownership shapes the record. The Regent's Park is counted among the Royal Parks of London, and its formal name keeps the definite article that the shorter version drops. Lodges stand inside the ring.
Hanover Lodge, St John's Lodge and The Holme belong to that private stock, while St Marylebone Parish Church and Holy Trinity Church of Marylebone anchor the older parish fabric outside it. The Burma Railway Memorial, the Schorr Collection and 22 Weymouth Street sit among the other listed items recorded around the park.
Where is Regent's Park?
Two boroughs divide it. The City of Westminster holds one part and the Borough of Camden the other, around 410 acres of parkland and an ornamental lake in Inner London.
