If London’s architectural design gets a big “ahhhh!” from the tourist you must see the wonderful parks of London. London is the largest urban area of England and often called the “The Green City”. The first thing that I got engrossed with in every place I travel is the park and gardens the city accommodates. Architecture and historical sites came second to this. I was so glad that London offered so many beautiful gardens for locals and visitors to see.

With London’s temperate climate you will really like the gardens that London showcases.
Let us visit the garden and parks inside the London’s centre.

• Royal Parks of Hyde Park It is one of the Royal Parks of London and one of the largest garden parks in central London England. It is 350 acres and opens until midnight. The grand entrance of this park was made from the designs of Decimus Burton. The size of the whole entrance is about 107 ft. There are several London Underground stations located on or near Hyde Park like the Hyde Park Corner and Knightsbridge, etc.

• Kensington Gardens It is one of the Royal Parks in London. It was formerly the private gardens of Kensington Palace. It is in 275 acres land and located west of Hyde Park. This is the park mentioned in the story Peter Pan of J.M. Barrie. The character Peter Pan and the author of the book were both honored in this park thus an iconic statue of Peter Pan is located in this park.

• Green Park Its name indeed gives justice to its surrounding. Green Park is blanketed with green scenery during the spring season and covering an area of approximately 53 acres. Compared to other parks in London, Green Park has no fountain or statue but made merely of beautiful and wonderful wooded meadows. It is also one of the Royal Gardens.

• St. James’s Park is the oldest park among the Royal Park in London. This park is named after a leper hospital located in the southernmost part of St. James place. This park is dedicated to St. James the Less.

These parks are only a few of the so many parks in London like the Bushy Park, Greenwich Park, Richmond Parks and the rest. Experience the magnetic appeal of these parks in London.
