Sports activities in The Regent's Park
From 1 February 2026, improvement works will begin at the pavilion buildings in Hyde Park and The Regent’s Park. During this period, the pavilion buildings will be closed to the public until April 2026. Outdoor sports facilities will remain open and accessible throughout.
Temporary reception points, toilets and changing facilities will be available while the works take place. However, as our facilities will be reduced, we encourage visitors to arrive ready to play wherever possible.
While the cafés are being upgraded, a temporary catering service will operate, offering outdoor seating and tables only. Please note that temporary café opening hours may vary during the works, so we recommend checking on‑site for the most up‑to‑date information. A reduced temporary sports retail offer will also be available at each location, and stock will be limited during this time.
Please be aware that there may be temporary path closures and diversions, and visitors are advised to follow local signage.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this time.
