York Bridge Restoration

We are pleased to be undertaking vital restoration work to York Bridge in The Regent’s Park. The Grade II listed bridge crosses The Regent’s Park boating lake and is one of the park’s oldest assets, with the first part of the bridge dating back to around 1790. 


It is an icon of the park and a popular entrance for pedestrians and vehicles alike which means it has been well used over the years, resulting in its gradual deterioration. We are now carrying out the necessary conservation work to prolong its lifespan for years to come.

Closures

While we aim to keep disruption to a minimum, in order to carry out this work safely York Bridge is currently closed.

The bridge will reopen when works are completed later in 2025.

Alternative routes

Alternative pedestrian routes are in place via Clarence Bridge and The Avenue Gardens. When the park is closed the only access will be via Chester Road.

Please note that in the Community Wildlife Garden and by the tennis courts dogs must be kept on leads.

Vehicles and cycles will be able to access the Inner Circle via Chester Road.

Cyclists can dismount their bikes to use the alternative routes or access the Inner Circle via Chester Road.
