Open:
Saturday 10:00–17:00
Description:
Originally planned as a full circus by Nash, only the graceful and elegant semicircle was realised. The Nursemaids' Tunnel connects Park Crescent with Park Square and has an elegant pavilion concealing an Underground vent shaft. 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.
