Henry VIII took the land that was to later form this park on the dissolution of the monasteries (1535—1540). He had it made into more hunting grounds.

At the Restoration the park was returned to the Crown, and used for farming.

In the early 1800’s a competition was held to decide what to do with the land. The winner was John Nash, who was closely associated with the Prince Regent (from whom the park takes it’s name from).

Today’s park is a tribute to Nash, with its Inner and Outer Circle, you have a park within a park. The terrace that sits on three sides of the park are spectacular and helps you to remember the many different styles of architecture London has to offer.
