    This is a gorgeous big-and-yet-not-so-big park. Among the playgrounds, the Glocester Green (near the Zoo) and Marylebone Green (near Regents Park tube station) are good-sized and great fun for young kids. The latter has a huge sand area and a small cafe car. The Hanover Gate (near the Mosque) playground is small and attracts lots of older kids, but is close to the boating lake, older kids' boating pond and a lovely family cafe that does great pizzas!

Note: We advise you check these details are up-to-date before planning a visit.
