概要
クイックファクト: 17エーカーの公園は、かつてバッキンガム宮殿の敷地の一部であった土地にあり、もともとは王室のプライベートガーデンでした。毎年500万人以上がその曲がりくねった小道を歩き、ロンドンで最も訪れられている緑地の一つとなっています。
見どころ: イタリアンガーデンの近くをよく見ると、カナダ人兵士が飼っていた「ギャンダー」という名前の犬の小さな墓石が見つかります。この犬は第二次世界大戦中に亡くなりました。公園にはまた、毎年恒例の「スワン・アップリング」の儀式の際に王室の白鳥が数えられる様子を見ることができる静かな一角もあります。この伝統は何世紀も前に遡ります。
インサイダーヒント
- Enter through the lesser-known Marlborough Gate entrance near St. James's Palace to skip the busier Queen Victoria Memorial side.
- The best photo spot is from the Blue Bridge across the lake, where you can frame both the park greenery and the London Eye in one shot.
- Avoid the main lawn on sunny weekends when it gets packed; head to the quieter flower garden area near the bird sanctuary instead.
- Bring binoculars to spot the parakeets that have made the park's plane trees their home, especially around dusk.
