In 1888, Regents Park was a prominent and affluent area in London. It was surrounded by the upscale neighborhoods of Oxford Street, Marylebone, Baker Street, Great Portland Street, and Edgware Road. The area was known for its grand Georgian and Victorian architecture, wealthy residents, and high-end shopping districts.

Regents Park was home to the impressive Regents Park Barracks, which housed the Royal Horse Guards, one of the oldest regiments in the British Army. Nearby, the Marylebone Workhouse served as a stark reminder of the poverty and inequality that existed in Victorian England.

Baker Street Station and Great Portland Street Station provided easy access to other parts of London, while Edgware Road was a hub of activity and commerce.

The northeast corner of Hyde Park, which bordered Regents Park, was a popular destination for outdoor recreation and relaxation. Nearby streets such as Regent Street, Berkeley Square, Grosvenor Square, Hanover Square, Cavendish Square, and Manchester Square were known for their luxurious shops, high-end restaurants, and elegant residences. The area was home to many members of the aristocracy, as well as wealthy merchants and industrialists.
