Regents Park hub in London's Regents Park<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For those in love with London<\/a>, there are countless arguments over all that the city has to offer, from where to see the best art collection to which pub serves the perfect pint. In summer, though, it\u2019s all about which park is top pick to spend those precious sun-drenched days in. Deciding is no easy task when you consider that thirty percent of London is covered in parkland\u2014but the attractions that Regent\u2019s Park<\/a> has to offer give it a distinct advantage over the others<\/strong>. Check out\u00a0accommodations in the Regent\u2019s Park<\/a> area, one of London\u2019s most beloved public spaces\u2014but you\u2019ll have to remember to pack your own picnic basket!<\/p>\n

One of the things that makes Regent\u2019s Park our top choice is its open-air theatre, the perfect alternative to high-priced West End<\/a> shows.<\/strong> For a fraction of the cost, you can buy yourself a standing-room-only, blanket-sized space on the theatre\u2019s sloping lawn and watch a Shakespearean performance, a mid-summer\u2019s night musical (this season\u2019s selection is Gigi), a concert or a comedy revue. Sure, the theatre sells some high-end concession snacks, but you can always stash a few candy bars in your purse or pockets\u2014and enjoy a show under the stars for a couple of quid.<\/p>\n

Another must-see attraction is the park itself, designed by master John Nash.<\/strong> With its picturesque bridge, stream, rowing lake, royal rose gardens and endless paths through pristine greenery, Regent\u2019s Park is an all-day, low-cost destination for tourists and families. On summer Sundays, check out the bandstand for free musical events and festivals, stroll over to the park\u2019s famed zoo or stop and watch a friendly game of football being played somewhere within the hundred acres of sporting fields.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest reason we at New York Habitat love Regent\u2019s Park the best is its location. Nash\u2019s architecture that surrounds the park is an attraction in itself. Walk around the perimeter to see private homes that put Buckingham Palace to shame\u2014since you can\u2019t get inside, it saves you a ton in admission fees!<\/p>\n

The pretty Marylebone region also encompasses Baker Street<\/strong> (the fictitious home of Sherlock Holmes); Madame Tussaud\u2019s and the planetarium<\/strong> (which, if the kids have their hearts set on seeing, is best entered after 5 p.m. for a discounted rate and will also give you plenty of time to breeze through the entire building); Abbey Road<\/a>; the Lord\u2019s Cricket Grounds; and the myriad caf\u00e9s, shops and eateries north of Oxford Street. A New York Habitat apartment in Regent’s Park<\/a> will put all of this within your reach (and your budget)\u2014and we can\u2019t imagine a much better place to wake up each day.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0A wonderful\u00a02-bedroom Furnished Apartment in Westminster (LN-702)<\/a> situated in Pimlico section of central London. This apartment features a king-sized bed, available spa services and is close by to famous attractions such as the London Eye.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0On Abbey Road, a lovely 2-bedroom Apartment in St. John\u2019s Wood, Westminster (LN-423)<\/a> on the third and top floors of a walk-up building, a nice walk from Regent\u2019s Park.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Decorated with blonde wood and pops of color, a Furnished 2-bedroom Apartment in Swiss Cottage, Camden\u2014Brent (LN-441)<\/a> just off Abbey Road on the first floor of a period house with front and rear terraces. This accommodation is a three-minute walk from the Swiss Cottage station and just two short stops from Regent\u2019s Park.<\/p>\n

A stay near Regent\u2019s Park will show you why Londoners escape to open, green spaces in the summertime\u2014especially when they don\u2019t have to leave the city to do it!<\/p>\n
