London Parks

Print this page

Taking time out to relax in London can be the perfect opportunity to take in some of the capital's green and open spaces.
 
London is one of the greenest cities in the world, with the capital boasting a large number of green and open spaces.
 
From large Royal parks to smaller community parks, London is a city that has lots of open spaces, and the gardens are to be admired.
 
Almost all public gardens are free and are a popular spot for visitors and residents in the summer.

Hyde Park

Perhaps the most famous London Park, visitors may also want to check out the accommodation surrounding it, as there are plenty of youth hostels and hotels to choose from.
 
Hyde Park is also situated in the perfect location for London's main shopping areas - although at 360 acres in size getting from one end to the other is no easy task.
 
More active travellers may also want to consider renting a boat in the summer for a gentle paddle across the lake or even a spot of fishing in some areas.
 
A visit to the Speakers Corner is also advisable, where you are sure to find someone wanting to engage in a debate about a whole manner of topics.

Areas Surrounding Hyde Park:
Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch, Lancaster Gate, Knightsbridge.

Green Park

If you are able to find a good spot, this can be the perfect place to visit at weekends, with the backdrop of Buckingham Palace adding some regal authority.
 
If you can see the Royal flag flying over the east front, you know that the Queen is in residence.
 
The interior of the Palace is open to the visiting public during August and September.

Areas surrounding Green Park:

St James's Park

Located adjacent to the Green Park, this London park is at its best on a Sunday when it is closed off to traffic.
 
Once inside, there is the chance to see St James's Palace - currently the home of the Duke and Duchess of Kent as well as offices for various other royals.
 
The lake is now a bird sanctuary and it has its own geese and black swans as well as Ducks and Pelicans
 
A short walk away from here will take you to Parliament Square, where you can marvel at the impressive Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Houses of Parliament.
