Scenic and Iconic park in London. Beautiful and great for walking around in the fresh air. Just be wary of the Many tourists here.

Molotov CupcakeJune 4, 2022The pelicans can regularly be seen basking on rocks between 2:30 and 3:00 daily, when they are fed fish by the park rangers
Have a look at Duck Island cottage at the end near Horseguards Parade. It's a beautiful little curiosity on the edge of the lake away from Buckingham Palace.

Elizabeth LeeNovember 19, 2014Incredibly peaceful park to enjoy and wander around. Look out for the friendly squirrels and various water fowl.
What a beautiful part of the world, chilled out and bustling at the same time, and the local marine birds are really interesting
