The Holme

The Holme stands as a centerpiece of architectural ambition within Regent's Park. Completed in 1818, it holds the distinction of being the first residential villa constructed inside the park's planned landscape. Its design came from the teenage prodigy Decimus Burton, who worked alongside his father, the prominent property developer James Burton. They crafted a neoclassical mansion featuring a distinctive central bow and an elegant Ionic portico that commands a view over the adjacent boating lake.
