Cornwall Terrace occupies a unique position in British architectural history. It was the first of the Regency neo-       classical  style terraces designed by John Nash, assisted by the leading architect Decimus Burton, as part of the            London Redevelopment Plan commissioned by the Prince Regent (later King George IV) in 1806.

The park was his focal point ,which he envisaged as a garden city – a playground for London’s aristocrats and Royals.

It is a role that has endured through many generations. Nash’s extravagant design for the Regent’s Park area was              a totally original urban vision – a series of stunning neo-classical crescents and palatial terraces that traced the        circular perimeter of Regent’s Park.

This contrasted vividly with most contemporary London estates of that time which were laid out in grid patterns.

With the support of Nash’s major benefactor, the Prince Regent, construction began with Cornwall Terrace in 1820 and continued over the next ten years. An exclusive location, the Park was not accessible to the public until 1835 when part of it was opened to the public.

The Park and its Outer Circle have attracted various organisations including the Zoological Society, the Royal Botanic Society, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the London Business School. In the 1930s’ Queen Mary Rose Gardens containing over 30,000 roses and over 400 varieties enhanced the area’s beauty.

Nash’s unique vision of a magnificent estate in the centre of the great metropolis of London has endured through the centuries.

No better accolade can be given than by the architectural historian Sir John Summerson who has described the spectacular frontages with their columns and pediments as “dream palaces, full of grandiose, romantic ideas such as an architect might scribble in a holiday sketch book...It is magnificent...”.
