Kitchens, bathrooms and decorating in Regent's Park
The park fringe is a different class of building from a West Hampstead terrace: Nash terraces, later mansion blocks of serious scale, and more ordinary Victorian streets toward Albany Street and Primrose Hill. Many flats are listed or highly controlled, with original plans, shared services and freeholders — including, on some buildings, the Crown Estate — who run a tight approval process. Our instruction, where we take it, is internal kitchen, bathroom and decoration within an existing demise. Facade and carcass work is not the service.
The park fringe includes Nash terraces and later mansion blocks of a scale unlike anywhere else on this list, together with more ordinary Victorian streets toward Albany Street and toward Primrose Hill. Many flats are in listed or highly controlled buildings with original plan forms, shared services and managing agents who run a tight ship. This is not conversion-terrace stock.

The housing in Regent's Park
Building stock, from the inside
A terrace house on the park is deep, narrow and vertical: service rooms in the basement, a raised ground floor, full-height sashes and shutters to the principal room on the first floor, and progressively lower ceilings above. Where such a house has been divided, kitchens have landed in former service or dressing rooms and bathrooms in the light-well end of the plan, so wastes travel further than anyone would design from scratch. Stucco outside means lime and soft render behind the paint; inside, cornices, chimneypieces and staircases are frequently part of the listing. Wet rooms sit over decorated ceilings that belong to someone else. Sequencing and protection therefore matter as much as the fit-out itself.
