Why yes, my garden is a royal park.

First things first, I guess. A garden in Britain is the equivalent of a yard in the States. With that said, yes the title of this post is very true. In fact, the royal family is actually our landlord! However, this post is not about the entire Regent's Park but is focused more specifically on a small portion called Queen Mary's Gardens. The area is located directly across the street from the front building of Regent's College (see map below) - could the college's location possibly be more ideal?


Regent's College and Queen Mary's Gardens


Parts of the Gardens are very manicured with roses and various seasonal flowers - however, I think the area where this waterfall was located was my favorite. It's found along a path the weaves through trees, follows a small pond, and climbs little wooded hills. It's actually very quaint for being in Central London.


Regent's College can be seen to the right of the gates at the end of the path.


The roses are all still beautiful!


As are the many other flowers, also.


On Tuesday night, a group went to see Into the Woods, which is being done in the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park. The entrance is actually via the paths in Queen Mary's Gardens.


Many people made the show their evening event - packing a basket and picnicking before the show began.


The musical was brilliant, with a very imaginative twist - & the venue was amazing! And yes, that is my picture! I was so happy that one of them turned out - even trying to sneak the picture without a flash. Perhaps the most interesting part of the show was that the orchestra played in a "treehouse" behind the stage, rather than a pit!
