Named after Prince Regent who later became King George IV, Regent’s Park is among London’s eight royal gardens, with an area twice the size of The Forbidden City! It has a wetland area that is home to plenty of wildlife, including a local population of hedgehogs. Soak in the majesty of over 12,000 roses in Queen Mary’s Garden and or even hire a rowing boat and imagine yourself in a romance film as you drift across the lake with its resident ducks. After that, take a leisurely stroll up to Primrose Hill to enjoy one of the best views of London. The trees in the area have been kept low such that in the winter, you can see as far as Hampstead. On the slope of the hill sits a rather peculiar tree – Shakespeare’s Tree. It is an oak tree that commemorates the 300th anniversary of the birth of England’s famed literary poet, planted in 1864. If you are experiencing a mental block, perhaps it will give you some sort of divine inspiration!
