St James's Park

We wandered into St James’s Park on a mid-morning st(roll) near Westminster before heading to an event elsewhere in the city, and it turned out to be such a lovely surprise, even though it has been around since the 1500s. The park is vast and beautiful, with lots of level paths and plenty of benches where you can stop with a hot drink or enjoy a packed lunch. During our visit we were completely taken in by the lakes and their residents – a flock of pelicans – which we mistook for swans at first. The park feels like something out of a fairytale, especially with Buckingham Palace peeking through the trees in the distance.

Really enjoyed our meander around St James Park - level access throughout - decent paths - a great spot to chill! You can even hire deckchairs on sunny days!!

The Park is easy to get into and has level access. Plenty of seats to take a rest, accessible toilet, and refreshment facilities.
