Regent's Park by Paul Rabbitts
The Regent's Park has a history stretching back through seven centuries, well before the designer and architectural genius John Nash and his patron the Prince Regent laid it out at the beginning of the nineteenth century as the first of the improvements they had planned for London. Rabbitts recounts the story of the park from its origins as a tiny part of the Middlesex Forest to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it became Henry VIII's hunting ground, to its subsequent development in the nineteenth century as London's new West End. This comprehensive history of one of the United Kingdom's most popular outdoor spaces also takes into account the wider history of Britain and its public parks.
Paul Rabbitts is a chartered landscape architect and Head of Parks at Watford Borough Council and is the author of over 20 books, ranging from the history of public parks, the royal parks, to the iconic Victorian bandstand and has also written a number of books on architecture in Amberley Publishing’s ‘In 50 Buildings’ series focusing on towns and cities across Britain. He is a Fellow of the Landscape Institute and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
