Contrasts: Bold Nash

on BBC One London

Written and compiled by Richard Napper and John Duncan.
A series of music and arts features.

Featuring Niall MacGinnis as John Nash, Esq.

As we walk around London today, how often do we wonder how and why the landscape came to be as it is? Why the curve in Regent Street? Why the kink in the road past Broadcasting House? Why the gap in the terraces on the north side of Regent's Park? Tonight's programme about John Nash, the great Regency planner responsible for Regent Street and Regent's Park, answers these questions, largely by means of the original plans and reports published in 1812.
