Chester Terrace is one of the neo-classical terraces in Regent's Park, London, designed by John Nash and built in 1825. The terrace has the longest unbroken facade in Regents Park (about 280 metres).〔(Images of England: National Monuments Record )〕 It takes its name from one of the titles of George IV before he became king, Earl of Chester.〔Weinreb, B. and Hibbert, C. (ed)(1983) ''The London Encyclopaedia'' Macmillan ISBN 0-333-57688-8〕 It now lies within the London Borough of Camden. == Architecture == All 42 houses are Grade I listed buildings.〔 They were designed by John Nash, and built by James Burton in 1825. At each end there is a Corinthian arch bearing at the top the terrace name in large lettering on a blue background, probably the largest street signs in London. Five houses are semi-detached. One of these, Nash House (3 Chester Terrace, although the main entrance is on Chester Gate), has a bust of John Nash on its west side,〔 looking identical to the bust on All Souls Church, Langham Place.
