St. James's Park

The perfect park in Central London to appreciate the joy and splendour of autumnal colours at their finest. The Blue Bridge spanning St. James’s Park Lake, offers a stunning partial backdrop of The London Eye, Whitehall and the City’s Towers. On a clear blue sky Sunday afternoon in October, the lake was stunningly blue with a near perfect reflection 💯in places.

The most gorgeous park in central London. Usually you can find a bench to seat on, enjoy the wildlife and beautiful gardens. It’s really not as crowded as you would expect, unless it’s a hot day/holidays. The park is really well maintained, amazing for people who like watching birds.

Sedate little park in the very heart of London, Buckingham Palace at one end, Westminster at the other. It’s really quite small, but big enough to allow you to have a gentle walk for half an hour maybe. A bit too thick with tourists in the summer, all the benches are taken, but what do you expect? He’d Park offers a bit more space, and even Green Park is less crowded. But, if you want to see pelicans up close, and feed the squirrels, and see the unusual waterbirds, then it’s a nice place to hop across to. If you’re planning on going from Buckingham Palaces to Westminster it’s a no-brainer. But it does close at night - don’t get caught out(!) (Or in, as it were) Some nice occasional views of the taller monuments, which become easier to see around and after sunset.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true gem in the heart of London! St James’s Park is absolutely breathtaking – a perfect blend of nature, history and peace right in the middle of the city. The views of Buckingham Palace, the lake with its graceful swans, and the beautifully kept gardens make it feel like a little piece of paradise amidst the hustle and bustle. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit on a bench, enjoy a coffee, and watch the world go by. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, with a real sense of timeless charm. Every season here has its own magic – spring blossoms, summer picnics, autumn colours and even the crisp winter mornings. An absolute must-visit when in London – pure serenity with postcard-perfect views! 🌿☀️🦢

Lovely walks around the lake, and the gardens were full of autumn colour. It gets very busy though, especially at weekends, with all the tourists. There's toilets near the entrance from Horseguards parade and a couple of coffee stands. The squirrels seem quite tame and will come up close asking for food!
