Regent's Park was a late addition to the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway's original plans with the Parliamentary go-ahead to build the station not received until 1904 [1] when the rest of the line was already under construction. It was still able to open with the other original stations of what would become the Bakerloo Line in 1906.
Regent's Park has no surface buildings, the ticket hall is accessed via a subway [2]. Lifts or a ninety-six step staircase are the only way to get to and from the platforms. However the station is one of the quietest tube stations in Zone 1 (with
only three million passengers a year!)
