This is a private garden for the use of residents of York Terrace West, designed as part of John Nash's original conception for The Regent's Park, approved by the Treasury in 1811. His plan for developing the former royal hunting chase included the 400-acre park, which was to be surrounded by villas and terraces, the latter given names that reflected royal patronage. York Terrace, built 1822-3 and named for Frederick Duke of York, was designed as two groups, split by York Gate. The houses had their main entrances on the south and presented an uninterrupted façade to Regent's Park, fronted by a garden enclosure laid out with lawn, a series of planted beds along the north, perimeter path, and planting along the front and side boundaries, punctuated by entrances in the centre and at each end.

Bethnal Green Museum was built on part of the remnants of the old Bethnal Green, 4.5 acres of which were sold in 1868 for the new Museum with the proviso that land not built on was to be public recreation grounds. In 1872 the 'Brompton Boilers' Museum was re-erected here, a temporary structure that had been built in 1856 to house the new South Kensington Museum, and opened as the Bethnal Green Museum of Science and Arts in 1872. In 1974 it became the V&A Museum of Childhood. The plane trees south of the building were planted in 1872 to form a division between the Museum and the Green and now separate the museum grounds from the public gardens. The museum is bounded by its original railings, with garden to the front and on either side, predominantly lawn with perimeter trees. 'The Eagle Slayer', a bronze statue of a boy was erected in the north-west corner of the grounds in 1927, but later relocated inside the museum, following substantial refurbishment works completed in 2006, which included re-modelling the front landscaping of the grounds. In 2020 the Museum closed for extensive alterations to the interior of the building, re-opening as Young V & A on 1 July 2023, with three new galleries.
