Regent's Park Station – Information for Travellers

Overview

Regent’s Park is a quiet, single-line Underground station on the Bakerloo line, tucked away on the Marylebone Road at the southern edge of its namesake park. Opened in 1906 by the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (the original name behind the modern “Bakerloo”), it remains one of the smaller and less crowded stations in Zone 1, making it a pleasant, low-stress gateway to one of London’s finest Royal Parks.

Despite its modest size, the station’s location is hard to beat: it sits almost equidistant between Great Portland Street and Baker Street stations, directly on the doorstep of Regent’s Park itself and within easy walking distance of Marylebone’s boutiques, Camden’s markets, and the wider attractions of Marylebone Road including Madame Tussauds.

The station retains much of its original early twentieth-century Underground character, including elements of its oxblood-red glazed terracotta tiled frontage typical of stations designed for the Underground Electric Railways Company of London in this era.
