Explore Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park: London’s Vibrant Escapade

2 min read

Primrose Hill has gained a reputation recently for being the London pad of fun-loving, yummy mummies in yoga pants. It’s not hard to spot famous people here pushing their babies around in strollers on their way to tri-yoga classes at one of the many studios nearby (I haven’t met any yet, but I’m not a local and don’t walk the area very often). I love visiting the Park, walking around Primrose Hill for photoshoots, and going on a London escape. It’s a great place to take pictures with colourful houses, cute coffee shops, and unique cupcakes.

Places to see in Primrose Hill when you come out of Chalk Farm tube station.

Walking down Regent’s Park Road, you see the quaint coffee shops and flower boutiques before finally reaching Primrose Hill Park. Now, it’s time to climb up for a panoramic view of London- one of the best in town! Once back on your feet, head towards Chalcot Square and Crescent, where many more sights await you with the colourful terraced house in pastel pink and blues, one of the prettiest streets in London! Take a left on Regent Park Road when you leave that street to walk up Princess Road. Towards the end, there is the fabulous cupcake bakery called The Primrose Bakery; they were among the first to take London by storm with their cupcake. They are well worth stopping by and give you a gluten-free cupcake option.

You can walk from the bakery to Regent’s Park Road or continue walking down and catch Gloucester Gate, one of the park entrances. The famous London Zoo is also in this Park, which has a lot of green space for people to enjoy! Regent’s Park is a great place to visit during spring and summer, where you can watch the blossoms and enjoy picnics.

Towards Regents Park station lies London’s iconic Park Square and Park Crescent (designed by John Nash, the architect who built Buckingham Palace). A 200-year-old regency structure transformed into first-class flats and garden villas that will set you in what I call elegant London.
