Regent’s Park Hub, London

Regent's Park Sports Masterplan

To re-masterplan the northern parkland of the Grade I Listed Regent’s Park, resolving a long-term conflict between sports and non-sport user groups. Specifically, to return a sense of the parkland character proposed in the original masterplan by John Nash, while still providing sports facilities for the surrounding areas, which include some of London’s most deprived neighbourhoods.

A collaboration with David Morley Architects. The Hub, conceived by David Morley, provides a focal point in the landscape. Our Sports Masterplan encloses the sports pitches with areas of flowering meadow grass and new parkland trees. A circuitous path provides a leisurely route around the pitches, popular with joggers, dog walkers and others seeking immersion in the meadow parkland landscape - away from the more intensive sports activities. This successful masterplan has sensitively integrated a new building within a historic landscape; facilitated an increased use of Regent’s Park for sports; and increased local biodiversity.
