Moving to Regent’s Park: A Guide to Suppliers
Nestled between the celebrity hotspot of Primrose Hill and the trendy bohemian district of Fitzrovia, Regent’s Park is one of the most exclusive London neighbourhoods. A hugely sought-after area for anyone moving to London, Regent’s Park is one of the city’s green havens. It’s bursting with open spaces, and gives you access to beautiful nature right outside your front door. Before making the big move, check out our handy Regent’s Park suppliers guide below to ensure you have the best possible experience.
Estate agents
Regent’s Park is filled with some of the capital’s most iconic homes. You’ll have a choice of everything from listed villas and stucco-fronted terraces, to the original Nash houses, designed by architect John Nash as part of his famous Regent’s Park development. Local estate agents specialising in marketing and selling these unique properties are the best way to find the right Regent’s Park home for you.
The Camden branch of Foxtons and the Regent’s Park branch of Messila Residential are two excellent places to start your search. These estate agents cover a very broad range of sales and lettings and will give you a good idea of what’s available locally. For a more targeted selection, Kubie Gold in Marylebone and Sandfords in Westminster specialise in properties within London’s more exclusive and in-demand areas. These include Regent’s Park and the surrounding areas of Marylebone and St. John’s Wood.
If you have a very specific type of property in mind, it can often be best to work with local independent estate agents who manage luxury, high-calibre properties in Regent’s Park exclusively. There are a number of options, including Aston Chase, Bargets, and David Birkett, all based on Park Road.
Cleaners
The historic nature of the homes in Regent’s Park means that there are a number of specialist services available locally. These will give you peace of mind that your new home has been thoroughly cleaned after the previous owners or tenants have vacated the property. Many of these services can also help you to maintain your new home effectively, using methods and techniques that will retain the property’s character.
SMB Restoration is one company that anyone living in a traditional Regent’s Park home should know of. The company specialises in residential facade restoration. They remove dirt and clean up brickwork using techniques approved by English Heritage, to keep the essence and spirit of Regent’s Park alive.
For home cleaning, AMR Cleaning Services in neighbouring Fitzrovia is located just south of the park. AMR offers both on-off and regular services, as well as antiviral sanitation cleaning. This can give you peace of mind that your new home is clean and hygienic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Alternatively, consider Fastklean in Marylebone. In addition to domestic cleaning, Fastklean also specialises in window cleaning for the traditional sash windows of Regent’s Park Nash houses. The company has provided services for some of London’s biggest organisations, including Harvey Nichols, Camden Council, and Foxtons.
Technology & home automation
The houses in Regent’s Park are typically very traditional on the outside. Of course, many people moving to London want to modernise the interiors to create a more contemporary, up-to-date living space.
Liv Technology in Marylebone, and Smart Home Innovation located just south of the park on Great Portland Street, are two leading technology companies serving the Regent’s Park area. These suppliers specialise in automated blinds and curtains, smart lighting, and advanced digital security systems. They also offer multi-room audio-visual setups and bespoke home cinemas, helping to bring historic Regent’s Park into the 21st century.
Locksmiths
Burglary accounts for less than 5% of annual reported crimes in Regent’s Park, making it one of the safest places to live in the city. However, it’s always good practice to change the locks on any new property that you move into, giving you peace of mind that your family are as secure as possible.
In Regent’s Park, you’re just minutes from London’s oldest security firm, Bramah, which moved to Fitzrovia from its original Piccadilly location. It’s been in operation since 1784, and the 5-person team boasts more than 100 years combined experience. The London Locksmith in Camden is another well-regarded local choice. Both provide routine lock changes, maintenance, and security upgrades for older style windows and doors. They also offer a 24/7 callout service for more time-sensitive situations.
Hotels
While Regent’s Park is one of the most sought-after of London districts, it’s always best to visit the area before making an offer on a home. This way, you can get a good feel for the lifestyle prior to committing to moving to the area. Fortunately, Regent’s Park has a number of prestigious hotels that offer a luxurious and comfortable experience for visitors, and form an excellent base from which to explore.
On Marylebone Road, you’ll find the 5-star Landmark London, which is just a 10-minute walk from the park itself.

This includes delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and glasses of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee.
The Langham, just south of the park, is another premier option, with 333 guest rooms and 42 private suites. It’s home to the Artesian, sometimes said to be one of the best bars in the world.
