With Buckingham Palace on one side and Downing Street on the other, this walking tour of St James’s Park will put you at the heart of many momentous events in British history.
- The first part of the walk focuses on the park’s royal history, revealing how it helped court a king’s mistress, the exotic royal pets it’s been home to and its dark underbelly.
- After you've taken in the park's incredible heritage, you will end your walk with the resident pelicans’ daily feeding.
