A private communal garden form the common frontage to Cumberland Terrace
Authorisation had been given in 1794 for developing the land, once part of Henry VIII's hunting park but by then leased mainly as farmland, which was due to revert to the Crown in 1811. Cumberland Terrace, named after George III's son Ernest, King of Hanover and Duke of Cumberland, resembles a palace overlooking the landscape of Regent's Park and would have faced the King's pleasure palace in the park if it had been built.
