The glory of London's Royal Parks make it one
of the greenest of the world's capital cities.
From the triumphant view across St. James's
Park to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain
in Hyde Park, this walk shows us some of the
best of London's beautiful parkland heritage.
We will experience the contrasts in character
and atmosphere of the central Royal Parks,
including St. James's Park, Green Park, Hyde
Park, and Kensington Gardens.
The many highlights of this walk include the
strange history of the Wellington Arch, the
delightful Peter Pan statue, the Diana
fountain, and some secret views across the
lakes that are unknown to most visitors.
Along the way, we will discover the history of
the parks as we go.
