Visitors can expect to see soldiers in scarlet tunics marching down The Mall, bright beds of flowers bursting with blooms, and the famous pelicans who call the park home.
The pelicans have been kept at the park since 1664 when a Russian ambassador presented them to King Charles II. They can often be found perched on benches by the lake, graciously greeting visitors from around the world.
Visitors can spot landmarks such as Admiralty Arch, Horse Guards Parade, and of course, Buckingham Palace. The park offers classic London views and a peaceful lakeside path to explore.
St. James's Park is the most royal of London's Royal Parks, shaped by generations of monarchs and bordered by three royal palaces. It is the home of ceremonial events in the capital and offers a historic landscape with something new to discover in every season.
Visitors can enjoy daily pelican feeding, a grass-roofed cafe, and ceremonial displays at the park. There are also opportunities for picnics, walking, jogging, and exercising in the spacious green space. The park is ideal for all ages and offers a peaceful ambiance for relaxation.
