Regent's Park is renowned for being the largest and most elaborate of London's many Royal Parks. It is a stunning green oasis in the heart of the capital and offers attractions such as London Zoo, Regent’s Canal, an ornamental lake, and sports pitches suitable for football, rugby and volleyball. Queen Mary’s Gardens, in the south of the park, are breathtakingly beautiful, particularly in June when the roses are in bloom. During the summer months, performances are held in an open-air theatre at this location.
