Regent's Park

Within its 197 hectares (including Primrose Hill) Regent's Park has a high biodiversity. Habitats range from heavily mown playing fields and wildflower grassland to more secluded woodland, wetland and reedbeds. Over the past twenty years, the management of the Park has concentrated on meeting both the needs of the public and those of its wildlife. As a result, the Park is an important site for wildlife, and is particularly popular amongst bird watchers as one of the richest sites in London.
