Circle
: St John's Lodge, built in 1812 and now owned by the Sultan of Brunei,
and
The Holme
, Decimus Burton's first-ever work (he was just 18 at the time),
picturesquely sited by the Y-shaped
Boating Lake
(open March-Oct), and now
owned by a Saudi prince. Within the Inner Circle is the Open Air Theatre
(see p.419), and
Queen Mary's Gardens
, which is by far the prettiest section of the
whole park. A large slice of the gardens is taken up with a glorious rose garden,
featuring some four hundred varieties, surrounded by a ring of ramblers.

The skyline of Regent's Park is punctuated by the shiny copper dome and minaret of
the
London Central Mosque
(also known as the Islamic Cultural Centre), built in 1977,
and an entirely appropriate addition given the Prince Regent's taste for the Orient (as
expressed in the Brighton Pavilion). Non-Muslim visitors are welcome to visit the
information centre, the exhibition on Islam, and the café, and to glance inside the hall
of worship, which can hold five thousand or more worshippers and which is dominated
by an enormous, sparkling, central chandelier.
