Over
Korte feiten: The 17-acre park sits on land that was once part of the grounds of Buckingham Palace and was originally a private royal garden. More than 5 million people walk its winding paths each year, making it one of London's most visited green spaces.
Hoogtepunten: Look closely near the Italian Garden and you will spot a tiny gravestone for a dog named "Gander" who belonged to a Canadian soldier and died during World War II. The park also has a quiet corner where you can watch the royal swans being counted during the annual "Swan Upping" ceremony, a tradition that dates back centuries.
Insidertips
- 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.
