REGENT'S PARK AND PRIMROSE HILL WALK AND PICNIC

Let's walk this gorgeous royal park and be marvelled by the wonderful display of roses in Queen Mary's Garden, climb the 63 meter little Primrose Hill and more...

The 395 acres park was named after the prince who later became King George IV. He ruled as Prince Regent for 10 years (1810-1820) while his father George III was too ill to go about his kingly business but it was only open to the public in 1830's.
The park is nestled in two boroughs- The Broad Walk, the north to the east of this is Camden, and to the west is Westminister.
It only became the Regent's Park after John Nash landscaped it in the early 19th century.

Opened in 1935 Queen Mary's Garden is London's largest collection of roses with approximately 12,000 roses planted within the gardens. There are 85 single variety beds on display, including one which is home to our very own 'Royal Parks' rose. Examples of most rose varieties, from the classics to the most modern English roses, are present in the gardens.

13:30 - Meet outside Baker Street Station by Sherlock Holmes statue;

13:45 - start walking towards the park and Primrose Hill. At this point we should walk at moderate pace until the base of the hill and there you may take your own pace up to the top. It's only 63 m above the see level and not hard at all if you are in good health physical condition.
At the top we'll appreciate wonderful views across the city.
Back to the park, we will have a stroll through Queen Mary's Garden I'll show you a little gem inside the park which you might not have seen yet where we'll have our picnic.

16:30ish - Finish at Baker Street Station.

Please bring £6 cash for the Meetup fee.
