The baby in this picture was born 1872, Marylebone, London, so I think this picture was probably taken soon after... but where? The statue could be a clue. Does anyone recognise it?

A park near Marylebone?

Regents Park was my first thought too, but London is dotted with squares and green spaces.
Google's satellite map shows greenery in Bryanston Squre and Portman Square which are both in Marylebone.
And of course they could have been on a day trip further afield.
I think the key would be identifying the statue.~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy

If you could rescan it at a higher resolution (300) we'd be able to see more detail then maybe identifying the statue would be easier
It says it's only 72 pixels per inch

Here it is enlarged and with a little more contrast

I dont get on here much, but have been researching the Marylebone area.
I think there was a place called the Pleasure Gardens, which like Hereford Street no longer exists. That was around the same time as you think the photo was taken, I could be wrong - I'm only taking it on memory of what I read.
Also Hereford Street was also turned into Hereford Gardens, I dont know whether they were a park as such...
