Parks and Open Spaces

A few of the most notable parks in London are inside comfortable walking distance of Belsize Park including Primrose Hill, Regent’s Park and Hampstead Heath. Regent’s Park developed from the 1811 plans of John Nash, Crown Architect and friend of The Prince Regent. To evoke revenue for the Crown, he planned private residential estate set in parkland. From the steep crown of Primrose Hill there are fine catches of Westminster and the City.

The expanse at present open to the public is primarily open parkland which backs up a wide array of facilities and conveniences including gardens, a lake with islands, a heronry and waterfowl collection, sports and catering, children’s playgrounds and the Open Air Theatre. It as well bears London Zoo and is the biggest outdoor grass region for sports in central London.

In the north of the borough is Hampstead Heath, one of London’s leading open places, comprising of about 800 acres of mixed grassland and woodland. It is a sort of more than parkland than heath but it does bear good deal of semi-wild areas, parts of extended tree cover, and a number of small lakes earmarked for boating and swimming.
