This 90-acre park, the oldest Royal Park in London, features a large lake that is a wildlife sanctuary for ducks, geese, swans and even pelicans.
This is nice to walk around on a sunny day and maybe even a wet or cold one. The lake had lots of beautiful wild birds with many photo opportunities.

Walked through the park a couple of times while going from several of London's attractions. It is nice, nothing to rave about but maybe since the busy city surrounds it it is probably a good respite for locals during busy days.

The park is located between Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar square. It's a great place to walk through, with many ducks, swans and squirrels.

This is a really great place to have a picnic, or eat lunch, or let your little one run around. It's a great place to take pictures. There is a beautiful pond with a fountain, it is quite lovely.

Loved the variety of ducks, geese and birds at St James. The information panels quickly help identify the wildlife and the planting is surprisingly lush and varied - Gladiolas, platanillo, cycas, alocacia then succulents and lavender. A rich palette to enjoy and kiosks for coffee and ice cream seal the deal. A fine park. Sun chairs available for rent.

A lovely park with a band and bandstand on a Sunday. A glorious view of Buckingham Palace from the bridge. A restuarant for snacks and beverages.

Lovely park- lots of wild birds on the water and squirrels which are very tame. Also wild parrakeets flying around which is good to see and hear. Refreshments are expensive (but it is in central London). Good place to have a picnic and rest your weary feet.

We discovered St. James's Park quite by accident, but what a happy discovery it was! If birds and butterflies could design a perfect setting, this would be it. We saw many varieties of birds (several were unfamiliar to us), in optimum habitats. There was even a large, flat boulder in the lake, which several grebes found to be an excellent...

Beautiful park nestled in between Downing Street and Buckingham Palace with incredible nature to help you forget the hustle and bustle of London
Even though Hyde and Green Parks are also in Central London, St James' Park is by far my most favourite due to its tranquility, seclusion from busy main thoroughfares, incredible views from the London Eye to Victoria...
