London: The Regent's Park

Discover The Regent’s Park with Field Studies Council

Students and staff can expect a warm welcome in The Regent’s Park, connecting with nature, learning about the park environments, wildlife and heritage through hands-on practical activities.

We run a wide range of fun learning experiences for all ages, needs and backgrounds. You and your students will get to explore the park and learn all about the vital urban green spaces looked after by The Royal Parks.

We bring learning to life — helping students sharpen their geography and science fieldwork skills and connect with the natural world around them.

The Park is easily reached by public transport or coach. During the day we will walk between the teaching sites. We provide any equipment, resources and handouts required for the day.

An inspiring location for study

The Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill cover 472 acres, a unique urban parkland, with a mix of habitats, from grassland to woodland, freshwater, wetland and reedbeds to thriving wildflower meadows, alongside the rose garden and treelines avenues. This mix of habitats and sports fields, managed for wildlife and people provide many opportunities for study.

Working together

Working in partnership with The Royal Parks to deliver education in Bushy Park, Greenwich Park and The Regent’s Park.

Projects and Bursaries

Our partner The Royal Parks has received generous funding from the Royal Parks Foundation USA, enabling them to offer a limited number of bursaries for eligible London schools who would otherwise be unable to visit. Find out more about applying to the scheme.

Our mission is to create outstanding opportunities for everyone to learn about and connect with the natural environment and be passionate about preserving its future. That’s why we make every effort to help disadvantaged young people access the benefits of environmental education. Current funding and bursaries can be found here.

“Excellent course content delivered by a knowledgeable guide, the students had a memorable day that rounded off their Science topic.”

The Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill

The Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill cover 472 acres, a unique urban parkland, with a mix of habitats, from grassland to woodland, freshwater, wetland and reedbeds to thriving wildflower meadows, alongside the rose garden and treelines avenues. Originally part of the Forest of Middlesex, the area was used as a royal hunting ground. The landscape was designed by John Nash in the early 1800s featuring a vast, rounded park surrounded by highly desirable Regency residential villas. The Royal Parks protects these historic natural environments, and alongside creates new, biodiverse ones. This mix of habitats and sports fields, managed for wildlife and people provide many opportunities for study.
