This is a great park, and it's huge. Ponds are beautiful, crowds are nice and mixed, not too touristy not too local. Just pleasant and fun.

probably the best designed tulip bed we have seen in all our travels---the sheer zigzag design and the crafty color combination of the main tulips and the background flowers were a harmonious blend and such a treat for the eyes... had a picnic lunch on the bench near the tulips in front of the lake and enjoyed the whole experience......

what a lovely park in the middle of things. full of history and lovely gardens with the Queen at the end ! alwasy enjoy a walkaboutn the St. James Park
We bought our picnic nearby and sat on the grass, watching the wild fowl carrying on their daily life around the water. Flowers and gardens so magnificently kept. Grass white as snow with daisies. Cheeky squirrels accepting food from passers by. Troops of school children wandering around kept in tow by teachers. London in springtime - a wonderful place to...

We walked from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace. Stroll through the gardens by the lake, watch the ducks and pelicans,feed the squirrels and enjoy the scenary. Would recommend if you enjoy mother nature :)
Beautiful gardens, particularly the tulips. Sat and watched an array of exotic ducks and geese, mallards and drakes and swans and ate ice-cream. Bliss.
We just breezed by one end of St James Park and the lake on our way to the nearby Churchill War Rooms Museum. Like all parks we visited in London, the lake area offers a nice place to walk, relax, and spot birds. We happened to stumble upon two beautiful storks sunning themselves on the large boulders inside the lake....

Head in from Buckingham Palace and take a detour to Speakers Corner. It's better in person... Then strike out for Kensington Palace. It's a great walk don't be afraid to meander. The Albert Hall is along the left flank of the park and in the park is the Albert Memorial. Ahh Victoriana!
Proximity to my hotel and Buckingham Palace was perfect. I had a snack on the terrace of the Park's restaurant, wonderful for enjoying the view. Probably strolled the grounds for over an hour, taking pictures, people-watching, thoroughly enjoying the scenery. So glad I took the time to stroll these beautiful grounds.
Walk through the park to get from Picadilly circus to Buckingham Palace, to escape the hustle and bustle of London. The park itself is very relaxing and well kept.
