REGENTS PARK, London

Grand, white Regency terraces set in the heart of one of London's most beautiful parks don't come cheap. Not all properties in Regents Park demand such a high price or carry such prestige, but be prepared to pay a premium no less. Much of the larger properties are managed by the Crown Estate and command a high price, yet Prince Albert Road has a good supply of Victorian flats for those with less deep pockets.

Regents Park, as an area, is dominated by the eponymous park. At the centre of the park are the open air theatre, Queen Marys gardens and the boating lake. Around the fringes of the park are an athletics track and tennis courts, London Zoo and a mosque.

Arranged around the circumference are the Nash-designed terraces stucco fronted houses and flats which look out over the park itself. The local landowner, the Crown Estate, has largely retained ownership of the freeholds and with nearly all of the houses and flats still held on Crown Estate leases. The Estate management scheme is vigorous houses are redecorated every four years in accordance with the terms of their leases, in exactly the same shade of off-white.

In addition, it is not uncommon for some of the houses and flats to have onerous ground rent provisions in their leases, which can be costly to buy out.

Critics of Regents Park say that the area can be somewhat bleak, a lovely throw-back to Regency London trapped in amber by an overly prescriptive Estate Management scheme. It can be a long way to the nearest cappuccino but as elegant and unified architecture in an urban setting, it has no peers in London.
