Review of Regent's ParkDesigned by 18th-century genius John Nash to surround a palace for the Prince Regent (the palace never materialized), this is the most classically beautiful of all London's parks, and featured briefly in the film The King's Speech. Its core is a rose garden planted around a small lake alive with waterfowl and spanned by Japanese bridges; in early summer, the rose perfume is heady in the air. The park is home to the Open-Air Theatre and London Zoo. As at all the Royal Parks, hundreds of deckchairs are scattered around the lawns, ready for sunbathers (£1.50 per hour rental). Rowboats and sailing dinghies are available from The Boathouse cafe (tel. 020/7724-4069) for £6.50 per adult and £4.40 per child for 1 hour.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
