Regent's Park: Architectural Detail

It seems really strange that for a walk in the park, especially Regent's Park, I would choose architectural detail for a common theme but the buildings that were built around and through out the park have such beautiful detail and such a blending of styles. On the buildings outside the park the Baroque and Classical styles prevailed but within the Park most of the design was Victorian and English in structure. The design and structure of the buildings almost parallels the design of the park; the outside is anything but structured with different styles combined within the same building while within Queen Mary's Garden the buildings within it are all done in one style and are all very structured. Structured and yet free.
Almost a Greek Temple.

Looks like Wedgewood.

Corinthian columns.

Victorian Bandstand.

Lack of Decoration.

Baroque columns.

Painted Frieze.



Crescent Mooned Mosque.
