York Terrace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

York Terrace overlooks the south side of Regent's Park in Marylebone, City of Westminster, London, England. It consists of two separate Regency style terraced buildings, York Terrace East and York Terrace West, which are joined by York Gate (built 1813) which frames St Marylebone Parish Church. York Terrace is one of the park's principal buildings.[1] As with Cornwall Terrace and Clarence Terrace, York was designed by John Nash, and built by James Burton with his son, Decimus Burton.[2]
