- Walking down the incredible Chester Terrace, near Regents Park.
Chester Terrace is one of the neo-classical terraces in Regent's Park, London. The terrace has the longest unbroken facade in Regent's Park, of about 280 metres (920 ft). It takes its name from one of the titles of George IV before he became king, Earl of Chester. It now lies within the London Borough of Camden.
As with Cornwall Terrace and York Terrace, the architectural plans were made by John Nash but subsequently altered almost beyond recognition by Decimus Burton, who was responsible for the existing design, built by his father James Burton in 1825. Nash was so dissatisfied with Decimus's design that he sought the demolition and complete rebuilding of the Terrace, but in vain. It is a Grade I listed building.
There are two blue plaques on the street: one at No. 13 for the architect Charles Robert Cockerell, and one at No. 27 for Air Marshal John Salmond.
The politician John Profumo lived at the aforementioned Nash House, No. 3 Chester Terrace, from 1948 until 1965. His former mistress Christine Keeler later lived in the nearby Chester Close North.
The composer Sir Arnold Bax lived at No. 19 from 1911 to 1918. The actor Sir Ralph Richardson and his wife Meriel Forbes lived at No. 1 Chester Terrace until 1983.

Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Stumbled on this area by accident recently. Amazing opulence from the front! I’m still reading up about them. Fascinating. The huge downside is that straight outside your back windows are god awful looking flat blocks. They’re a street width away and it’s all you can see.
I love your videos keep going pls
