Gloucester Gate

Gloucester Gate is a Grade I listed terrace of brick houses with stucco facades, decorated with Ionic fluted pilasters, dentilled cornices, and balustrades. The row extends along the eastern edge of Regent's Park and presents a uniform architectural style across multiple storeys.

John Nash designed this residential development in the 1830s as one of four grand terraces along the eastern edge of Regent's Park. The terrace emerged during a period of major urban expansion in London and remains a key example of Regency architecture.

The houses display the tastes of wealthy residents through their Portland stone staircases, ornate cornices, and marble fireplaces that remain visible today. These design elements reflect the prosperity and lifestyle choices that defined this neighbourhood in the 1800s.

The houses are visible from the street and can be viewed from outside, with architectural details clearly seen from the pavement. Visitors should enjoy the best views from street level, as the properties remain private residences.

Number 6 stands out for its exceptionally elaborate design and retains original details such as enriched plaster cornices and white marble fireplaces today. This house displays a higher standard of craftsmanship compared to the other buildings in the row.
