Despite its proximity to central London, Regent’s Park is an excellent stargazing spot away from the worst of the city lights. Although local light pollution is readily apparent, the open space allows views of the brighter stars, planets, moon, galaxies, and nebulae. This location is used for free monthly public stargazing sessions organised by the Baker Street Irregular Astronomers. Stargazing from central London!? Who’d have thought it? We highly recommend giving it a go!
