John Nash (1752- 1835), one of the leading architects of the Regency Period.

Apprenticed with architect Sir Robert Taylor, who was originally a sculptor in the 1740s, later Nash became one of the premier architects of Regency England. One of his ambitious projects is Marylebone Park in 1811. With a very modern point of view, from a very normal farmland, which is called Marylebone Park and the surroundings areas, it developed to be an extraordinary landscape of a garden city with villas, terraced houses, crescents, a canal, and lakes. The speculative plan included a proposed avenue from Prince Regent’s Park to “Prinnie’s” [who is Prinnie? who called him Prinnie? why?] home at Carlton House in the Mall. The developed area would be covered by the present Regent’s Park, Trafalgar Square, St. James’s Park, and Regent Street. However, after the death of the Prince Regent, Nash lost his enthusiastic financial support, Nash was unable to finish his project. Besides Marylebone Park, his contributions were remodeling Carlton House as Carlton House Terrace (1827-1833), building Cumberland Terrace (1827), Haymarket Theatre (1829), All Soul’s Church in Langham Palace (1822-1825). Besides them, he was chosen by George IV to transform Buckingham Palace. The palace today is a working palace and centre piece of Britain’s constitutional monarchy.
