Cumberland Terrace, Neoclassical terrace building in Regent's Park, London, England.
Description
Cumberland Terrace is a neoclassical row of houses along the eastern edge of Regent's Park, comprising thirty-one residences arranged in three connected blocks. These are linked by decorative arches and Ionic columns that run across the entire facade.
History
The terrace was completed in 1826 by architect John Nash as part of the Prince Regent's broader development plans, who would later become King George IV. This marked a period of intensive urban transformation in Georgian London.
Culture
The name comes from the Duke of Cumberland, a member of the royal family for whom these houses were built. Today visitors can observe how the grand facades reflect the lifestyle and tastes of wealthy Londoners during the Regency period.
Practical
The location sits directly along Regent's Park and can be accessed from multiple park entrances nearby. Visitors can view the exterior facades from the park or adjacent streets, as most of the houses remain private residences.
Did you know?
The central block features a sculptured pediment above a colonnade, with five houses projecting forward to create a stepped platform appearance. This architectural emphasis was deliberately designed to draw attention to the heart of the overall composition.
