Previous photo Next photo

Royal Green Park is very small, and many guidebooks do not single it out as a separate attraction, because almost all tourists in London pass through it anyway: it is located on the road between Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly, the main tourist routes.

The park is perfect for relaxing while exploring the city: you can sit on the grass or on a bench, or you can buy groceries at a nearby supermarket and have a picnic.

History of creation

The first mention of the park dates back to 1554, when regular conspirators met in it, dissatisfied with the royal marriage plans. At that time it was a wild forest in which they hunted, hid and dueled. The situation changed in 1660, when King Charles II expressed a desire to travel between the two already existing royal parks (St. James Park and Hyde Park) on his own, that is, royal, land. He bought the site, fenced it in and turned it into a park.

For many years, Green Park was a place of royal celebrations: Hyde Park was far from the palace (St. James's Palace, it still exists), and St. James Park is small in size, so many royal holidays were held here. Later it was opened to royal visitors and by 1730 had become a fashionable place for the aristocracy to relax. The park was opened to everyone in 1826.

About the park

In this state, it exists even now, royal holidays are no longer held there (there is not enough space), but the place to relax turned out to be very pleasant. It's just a park - trees, the ground is covered with a lawn. There are no flowerbeds or any other organized things in it. On the edge of the park, where it approaches neighboring Hyde Park, there are several war memorials at once, including The Wellington Arch - Triumphal Arch Wellington in honor of his victories over Napoleon, but now there are no buildings in the park itself.

The park is perfect for relaxing while exploring the city: it is in the very center. But this is a fairly quiet and peaceful place - greenery and huge old trees, squirrels run, birds sing.

You can sit on the grass or on a bench (there are also sun loungers, but they are paid - and this is legal and official, from the park administration, and not extortion of money by a scammer, as tourists from Russia often think), or you can buy food at a nearby supermarket and have a picnic: in good weather, many Londoners do this, no one will be surprised. By the way, it is allowed to drink alcohol moderately in the park (although, in general, drinking alcohol on the street in Britain is limited).

Practical Information

Unlike many other parks, Green Park is not completely closed at night - you can go through it around the clock. It is free and open to everyone.

The Green Park metro station goes to the park, but you don’t really need a metro to visit this park - most tourists get here without planning a visit, and almost all of them on foot.

Around the park

The park is located in the tourist center. On one side of it is Buckingham Palace, from which pompous Mall Street goes to Trafalgar Square, on the other - St. James's Palace and several other royal buildings, on the third - Piccadilly Street with big amount sights, with the fourth - the huge famous Hyde Park. There are few open restaurants here, cafes are also so-so because of the crowds, so a picnic in the park is the best thing you can think of.

Green Park, the smallest of London's royal parks (it occupies only 19 hectares), is not without reason called "Green" - "Green". There are no water bodies, no buildings, only trees and lawns.

Once on this place they hunted deer and fought duels. Charles II bought a plot here just to be able to walk from Hyde Park to St. James's Palace on his own land, but then he fell in love with the new park very much, built one of the first glaciers in England in it to treat guests with cold drinks. According to legend, Queen Catherine found out that her loving husband had picked flowers in the park for another woman, after which she ordered all the flowers to be plucked here and not planted again.

Whether it was or not, there really are no flower beds in Green Park. In the spring alone, for a few magnificent weeks, all the lawns are covered with blooming yellow daffodils (there are more than 250 thousand of them), but the rest of the time the park looks much more modest.

However, every year it is visited by millions of tourists and Londoners. The green triangle of Green Park is located in a very busy area, people relax here from the hustle and bustle. The park mainly grows plane trees and lindens, but there are black poplars, silver maples, oaks, and hawthorn. There are no exotic birds - starlings, tits, blackbirds (black, white-browed, fieldfare) live here.

The main attractions of the park are the monuments to the fallen soldiers. The memorial gate on the western side is dedicated to the memory of men and women from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Africa, Nepal, and the Caribbean countries who died in both world wars. Massive Portland stone columns topped with bronze fire bowls were delivered in 2002. On the east side of the park, in 2012, a memorial was erected by Liam O'Connor, dedicated to the bomber pilots who died in World War II: an impressive stone colonnade and seven bronze figures.

The Canadian Memorial is located outside the Canada Gate (entrance to the park on Constitution Hill, next to the Queen Victoria Memorial). The magnificent black and gilded metal gate was made in 1911 by the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts. She also completed the gates of Buckingham Palace (lattices are a bit similar). The gate leads to a memorial dedicated to the Canadians who fought for Great Britain in the First and Second World Wars. The monument, made of red granite, is something like two sloping rocks strewn with bronze maple leaves. The water flowing over them gives the impression that the leaves are floating along with the stream. The memorial was designed by Canadian sculptor Pierre Granche and inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth in 1994.

Several times a year, the silence and tranquility of Green Park explode from royal fireworks, which invariably gather a mass of spectators. This is a very solemn and spectacular event. Warriors of the Royal Horse Artillery in full armor salute with cannons on holidays such as Coronation Day, the birthdays of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

(eng. Green Park) - a modest park complex, on the territory of which there are several memorials in honor of the military who died in two world wars. There are practically no entertainment and tourist attractions here (unlike many other parks in London, which are replete with ponds, flower beds, fountains, monuments, and sometimes architectural buildings).

Green Park, one of London's eight "royal" parks, is the smallest of them all. Its area is only 40 hectares, and territorially it is sheltered between its two "big brothers" - Hyde Park and St. James's Park, where its part overlooks Buckingham Palace.

The history of this London park, like several others, begins in the 17th century and at first it was just a hunting reserve, and before that it was a burial place for lepers. A little later, King Charles II decided to connect Hyde Park and St. James Park with a park “lintel”, and so the Constitution Hill alley lay. The word Constitution here has no political meaning, it simply means that the king walked along this alley for the benefit of his health and physique (constitution).

However, despite the royal walks, this territory had a gloomy reputation for quite some time. Various criminals hid here, and aristocrats used a secluded place for duels. However, everything changed at the beginning of the 18th century, when the architect John Nash, commissioned by the Prince Regent (the future King George IV), turned an ordinary forest into a corner for a fashionable holiday. Festivities were held here and fireworks were fired. Composer Handel even wrote "music for the royal fireworks" especially for the celebrations in Green Park. The tradition of cannon salutes has been preserved to this day (as a rule, significant dates of the royal family serve as an occasion). For ordinary citizens, the park became available only in 1826.

The central alley of Constitution Hill starts from the Canada Gate. There are very few monuments in Green Park, and they include this gate and a memorial to soldiers from Canada who died in world wars. The memorial was opened in 1994 and consists of two granite steles dotted with maple leaves. The black and gilded gates themselves were created by the same craftsmen who made the gates for Buckingham Palace.

The second gate of Green Park is called Memorial. They are massive stone columns crowned with bronze bowls with the Eternal Flame and are dedicated to all the inhabitants of the British colonies in Asia, Africa and America who fell in world wars. In the eastern part of the park, in 2012, a memorial was opened to the memory of the military who served in bomber aircraft, as well as civilians who died as a result of air raids.

There are no flower beds in Green Park, and this is due to the legend that all the flowers here were torn out by order of the jealous Queen Catherine. Thus, she wanted to prevent a repeat of the occasion when her husband gave a flower to another woman. One way or another, Green Park covers a smooth carpet of green grass, but in the spring more than 250,000 yellow daffodils bloom here. There are not even tall bushes here - only tall trees and grass under them. Tits and blackbirds chirp in the trees and squirrels jump. By the way, episodes of the film "101 Dalmatians" were filmed here.

You can always meet vacationers and athletes jogging in the park, and artists often work here, attracted by beautiful views. Unlike many other parks, Green Park does not close at night, it is open 24/7 and is free. It is even allowed to drink weak alcohol, which is not typical for Britain.

A bit of history

London's Green Park has been known since the 16th century, when it was a forested outskirts of the city, but in the middle of the next century, King Charles II made it a hunting ground. Green Park had not the best fame, because London thieves and robbers constantly lived here.

Everything changed in 1826, when the park was cleared, oak and linden alleys were laid, hawthorn and maple trees were planted, and flower beds were arranged. Fireworks were arranged here, airships and balloons were tested, and citizens and foreign guests came here to breathe clean, fresh air.
