Description:

Originally planned as a full circus by Regency architect John Nash, only the graceful and elegant semicircle was realised.

The Nursemaids' Tunnel connects Park Crescent with Park Square and has an elegant pavilion concealing a ventilation shaft for the London Underground. New railings and gates have been installed to original designs.

Park Crescent is dominated by magnificent London planes of a similar age to their counterparts in Park Square. The original Regency railings are currently being restored, one section at a time, in conjunction with a replanting programme.
