Collecting the pollen
One of the largest of London's private squares, designed and laid out by John Nash, dominated by plane trees said to have been planted in 1817 to commemorate the allied victory at Waterloo two years earlier. Other trees of note include a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and weeping silver lime (Tilia tomentosa 'Petiolaris')
An original and unique feature of the garden is the Nursemaids' Tunnel, an early pedestrian underpass connecting the Square to Park Crescent. The tunnel passes under the busy Marylebone Road, allowing families to promenade safely through both gardens without worrying about the noisy public throng passing overhead.
The combination of Park Square and Crescent was designed to form a transitional entrance feature to Regent’s Park, leading the visitor from the formal Nash streetscape of Portland Place in the south, to the green and picturesque landscape in the north. It was described as a 'sort of vestibule' to the new royal park. New gates and railings have been installed to original designs.
The gardens retain most of their original Nash layout and have been managed continuously from their inception by an organisation specifically set up in 1824 to carry out this task, the Crown Estate Paving Commission.

The 96 ancient plane trees (Platanus orientalis) were planted in the late 1820s and are near the end of their healthy lifespan. Arborists have installed a web of steel cables to try to prevent their heavy branches from spreading to the point of falling.

These trees must have been planted before the causeway was built for the road through the village, and the cafe area beside it.
What the hell, some colour. A plane tree, Clough Road Hull, this morning during the 'golden hour'. Fuji X10.
I've eaten here once and I learned that escargot tastes like marinated mushrooms. However, I feel that I might as well just eat mushrooms and avoid the slightly unsettled feeling I get when my brain can't shake the image of snails inching across a footpath.

2237: In the front of the park (Tiensestraat) stands a small statue of Abraham which plays a part in the folkore of Leuven. The Planetree Avenue in situated in the old outer canal of the old citywall. This is the oldest citywall dating back to the 12th century. In the park you can find several towers made of sandstone and ironsandstone.
The wider part of the park originated from private properties, like the collegegrounds of the Saint Donatus college, which burned down, and three other college gardens put together in 1866. The park was transformed to the style of an English landscape. Between 1993 and 1998 it was renovated.
Vooraan rechts (Tiensestraat) staat het beeldje Abraham dat in de folklore van de Leuvense jaartallen een rol speelt. De platanendreef ligt in de opgevulde buitengracht van de rechts gelegen stadswal. Daarop bevond zich de eerste ringmuur, opgetrokken in de 12de eeuw. Van de ringmuur zijn in het park nog een paar torens, opgetrokken uit zandsteen en ijzerzandsteen, bewaard.
Het bredere deel van het park is ontstaan door het samenvoegen, in 1866, van particuliere eigendommen o.a. het afgebrand Sint-Donatuscollege en de tuinen van drie colleges. Zo ontstond er een ruimer park, aangelegd in Engelse landschapsstijl. Het park onderging tussen 1993 en 1998 een volledige renovatie.
