History

John Raffield built St John’s Lodge, the park’s first villa. Holford House, built in 1832, was then its largest villa; it housed Regent’s Park College from 1856 until the college moved to Oxford in 1927. A bomb destroyed the house in 1944, and it was demolished in 1948.

  1. 1823–1852The Diorama at 18 Park Square East operated as an early precursor to cinema.
  2. 1861George Bishop’s Observatory at South Villa closed after its owner died.
  3. 1863The observatory’s instruments and dome moved to Meadowbank, Twickenham.
  4. 1994Colvin and Moggridge Landscape Architects designed the garden at St John’s Lodge.
