Hanover Green - Regent's Park
Regent's Park, London, London, NW8 7RG
Members of the public are welcome to join the Baker Street Irregular Astronomers at Hanover Green in Regent’s Park for a picnic and solar observation!
The Irregulars are an amicable group of astronomers who, in normal non-covid times, organise regular monthly stargazing events in the park.
Please note that this event is very much based on covid restrictions in place at the time. If you are planning to attend please read the park’s vistor guidelines, how to get there and parking information.
The nearest park entrance to Hanover Green is Hanover Gate on the Outer Circle opposite the Mosque, with the green on the left-hand side as you pass through the gate.
This event is free to attend and will be primarily a social event; there may be solar telescopes to look through and filtered binoculars. Due to covid, there may be limitations, and all attendees are asked to think carefully before asking to see or allowing others to view the Sun through any equipment.
Please note that this event has already taken place on 27/06/2021
