Lakeside café offering a full menu with drinks and vegetarian options, featuring both outdoor and indoor seating.
A great hour's entertainment in a family Pedalo. Good price for 4 people - 2 adults+2kids (who had to wear small lifejackets). Not quite sure how the organisers know the time is up - presumably done on trust? Suggestion - what about a buzz alarm on the boat, like when your meal collection is ready maybe? More prominent signage as you approach the entrance area would also be useful.
I chose a day with temperatures hitting 26 ⁰C & splendid sunshine to try the pedalo for the first time. It takes time to become accustomed to the boat rotating 360⁰C on it's own & getting used to the steering/control mechanisms. Hence I recommend booking 1 hour. As other reviewers mentioned, it is an intense workout for the legs & glutes especially if you're riding solo! There's lots of wildlife, lush greenery and beautiful buildings to explore enroute amidst the lukewarm waters. Although the park was packed, most people were sunbathing or walking so it was a pleasant surprise to find no queues or congestion on the waters. Staff were friendly, supportive & helpful for beginners. A lovely day out in Central London for less than £14!😊
We had a fantastic time boating on this lake and staff were very kind and accommodating. Great experience of the weather ensures it!
Regent’s Park Boating Lake is a lovely spot in the heart of London, perfect for a relaxing day out. The lake is surrounded by beautiful greenery, and you can rent rowing boats or pedalos for a fun ride on the water. There’s also a small pond for children and a nice café nearby to enjoy snacks with a great view. It can get busy on weekends, but overall it’s a peaceful and enjoyable experience for families, couples, and visitors alike.
Nice impromptu daytime activity, the pond is quite big, but a 30 minutes ride is more than enough. The prices are alright, but not on the cheaper side, I'd definitely do it again in a different park for a change of scene. Really fun overall especially on a cloudy day.
