Located in Mayfair beside Buckingham Palace, this park is a peaceful spot ideal for jogging and walking. The paths are well-kept and wind through a spacious area, with kiosks offering drinks and snacks. Great for runners, it features gentle gradients for excellent hill workouts. If you cherish nature and tranquility, this park should be on your list. The close proximity to our accommodation added to the convenience, allowing us to enjoy serene views while staying active.

Green Park stands out as one of the Royal Parks in central London, situated next to Buckingham Palace, St. James's Park, and Piccadilly. It is one of the smaller Royal Parks, recognized for its tranquil environment amidst the urban landscape. Unlike its more floral counterparts, Green Park has open spaces, mature trees, and grass areas, perfect for relaxation and leisurely walks. It is home to various bird species and is often less crowded, providing a peaceful retreat for visitors. A notable feature is its large central area, typically free of flowers or sculptures, which differentiates it from nearby parks. Additionally, memorials like the Canada Memorial honor the contributions of Canadian soldiers in both World Wars. Easily accessible, Green Park is a wonderful place to immerse oneself in nature while in central London.

A beautifully neat and lush green park just steps away from the Green Park tube station. This park connects you directly to the famous Buckingham Palace, the residence of the UK's royal family. To witness the guards' changing ceremony, make sure to arrive by 10 am almost every day.
