STORIES OF REGENT’S PARK ESTATE

A large-scale residents-and-artists collaboration project making positive change to the urban environment around Regent’s Park Estate.

The Euston area is currently undergoing major urban changes, with more planned for many, many years ahead. Stories of Regent’s Park Estate (SRPE) is a partnership project making resident-led creative, positive change to the urban environment through collaboration between local residents, artists and key city stakeholders, we aim to ensure that Regent’s Park Estate thrives.

At the core of the project is an ambitious new ‘useful public art’ commissioning project, the Regent’s Park Estate Story Trail, combining local heritage and identity with artistic interventions, street wayfinding and an opportunity to collect ideas for future interventions.

SRPE is a Community Champions Regent’s Park project, produced by ODAC in partnership with Camden Council Parks and Open Spaces, Fitzrovia Youth in Action and University of the Arts Central Saint Martins through T-Factor. The project is funded by HS2 via Camden Council and EU Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Programme.

The Story Trail Project is a celebration of the past, present and future of Regent’s Park Estate, promoting a sense of community, safety and connection. Through 11 unique art installations the Story Trail will take the community on a journey through the estate creating through the estate creating opportunities to shape, reconnect and look differently at the area.

Following an open call for Artists in December 2023 we are delighted to introduce the artists who have been selected to create public art commissions for the Story Trail.
