Location

Chester Terrace can be found on the eastern side of Regent's Park's outer circle, between Cumberland Terrace and Cambridge Terrace. Regent's Park itself offers a wide range of recreational facilities, including the Zoological Gardens, the open air theatre, Queen Mary's Gardens, the boating lake and tennis courts. The nearest Underground station is Great Portland Street (Circle and Metropolitan Lines), which is approximately 600 metres away.
Regent's Park has been in the ownership of the Crown since the 16th Century and was largely designed for the Prince Regent by John Nash to create a garden city concept of villas, terraces and crescents. Building began in 1812, and by 1826 almost all the terraces were completed or at least put in hand. Chester Terrace is the longest unbroken terrace of all (nearly 300 metres), with 99 bays of resplendent crème stucco, elaborately divided up. At the ends, projecting wings are connected to the main façade by triumphal arches on which the name of the terrace is super scribed. A private road serves the front doors of all the houses, and a private garden for the residents' use, running the whole length of the Terrace, separates it from the Outer Circle.
