The Regent’s Park Estate Story Trail is a brand-new, resident-led art trail in Euston, featuring 28 public artworks across 12 sites that celebrate local culture, heritage, and community – including a special art installation, ‘Wonderscope’, at our Regent’s Place campus.

As a longstanding part of the Regent’s Park community, the campus has been connecting with local organisations for over 20 years, fostering partnerships that support creativity, accessibility, and social impact. This latest collaboration has been delivered in partnership with the Old Diorama Arts Centre (ODAC) – a purpose-built creative hub based at Regent’s Place, offering studio space for rehearsals, auditions, workshops, and events.

The Story Trail aims to enhance the neighbourhood, highlighting the estate’s diverse cultures while creating safe and accessible routes connecting green spaces. Described as “a glimmer of light”, it encourages participants to explore beyond their typical routes and discover more about the area.

Wonderscope: a community collaboration within the Story Trail

“Wonderscope”, designed by artist Alisa Ruzavina, is located in front of the Impact Hub at Regent’s Place. An interactive teleidoscope and Kaleidoscope sculpture that celebrates the seasonal turns of the Wheel of the Year, capturing local seasonal wisdom and local-based stories. The installation is one of 28 artworks featured within the Story Trail, connecting Regent’s Place residents and workers to seasonal rhythms and the joys of local nature through play and wonder.

Ruzavina designed the piece by drawing insights and experiences gathered during workshops with residents, campus workers and local groups including the Third Age Project, Christ Church Primary School, and the Bengali Workers’ Association.
Nicola Roberts, Social Impact Manager at Regent’s Place said: “We’re proud to be part of the Camden community and have been working closely with local organisations for over 20 years. Being part of the Regent’s Place Story Trail is really important to us, as we not only enhance our shared spaces but also celebrate the rich culture and community spirit of Regent’s Park Estate.”
