Walk Regent's Park from The Nash Terraces and London Zoo outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 92% of the 3,014 households in NW1 live in flats, 8% in houses.
Private renting sits at 55% and owner-occupation at 38%; the first group books clearance services at short notice, the second plans it.
Regent's Park substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 92% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Regent's Park actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW1, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and royal parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the outer circle is the mistake that costs a NW1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Regent's Park: nash terraces and villas facing the park, plus the zoo and Marylebone's northern edge. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Regent's Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: royal Parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the Outer Circle. Regent's Park (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, and standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling.
