NOTES: The bar was but one element of the proposed reconstruction of the North Gate of Regent's Park and was made as long as possible in order to accommodate large crowds. The canopy was of reinforced concrete on steel columns and dark red brickwork was used for the kiosk. The North Gate reconstruction was never carried out and the bar has been removed. The kiosk was Grade II listed.
