Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 1 November 2007

Who uses the park?

• COUNCILLOR Nash Ali’s throw-away remark on Regent’s Park, “…the majority of users are tourists” (October 25) is a total nonsense.
As a tourist guide of many years standing I can assure him that tourists don’t come to London to see Regent’s Park. They come to see the sights, and it is most certainly not them who walk their dogs, play games and picnic in the park. It is the local residents and the young who use the already existing pitches.
We don’t need any more and it was not the intention of the Prince Regent and his architect John Nash to make money out of it.
Let’s keep it that way.
