What travelers are saying
- Sarah C6 contributionsThere is always somewhere in the park you can find peace, quiet and solitude. There is history, wildlife, architecture, culture and exercise available if you want it. I prefer to quietly walk around the serpentine and the gardens.Written December 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark W4 contributionsOne of London's Little-known joys is that the wild birds in the central Royal Parks are willing to fly down and take food from people. There is a brilliant feeding area in St James's Park on the south side, only two minutes walk from the tube station. Take some suitable food with you and you will make a lot of new friends. ❤️Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

“ I VISITED THIS PLACE”…
… as part of my exploration of the area, primarily the three fantastic museums in South Kensington, and the magnificent unbelievable one-of-a-kind, Royal Albert Hall.
It is a good walk through the place – it’s large.
I saw Kensington Palace from the entrance and then I walked and circled Round Pond and then I walked back to the unique brilliant Albert Memorial
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
It is free
WOULD “I VISIT THIS PLACE” AGAIN?
Only to re-visit the Albert Memorial
ADVICE
*. Come here to see the stuff and be prepared to do walking
* Be sure to cross the street and visit the Royal Albert Hall, as well as the fantastic museums of South Kensington on Exhibition RoadWritten January 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The entrance to Regent’s Park is at the top.
The lake is the first thing you see. Lots of birds. I saw Egyptian geese on my last visit and a grebe on this visit.
There’s a great little cafe where the boats are. It’s lovely to sit outside here. The coffee is excellent.
Walking further up there are toilets on the left.
Continue further and London Zoo is on the right.
Across the bridge over Regent’s Canal and over the road walking on you come to Primrose Hill. There’s another cafe here and toilets.
It’s worth doing a detour here to look at the houses. There are blue plaques for Sylvia Plath and W B Yeats. Some good architecture around here too.
The park is massive but you can’t get lost. It’s a beautiful green space and still has some Victorian influences e g a water fountain, and some great views of London.Written December 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The panoramic views of the city skyline from the hilltop were breathtaking, especially during sunset when the city lights began to twinkle. The lush green hills and serene atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a peaceful stroll and some great photo opportunities. I also enjoyed the vibrant street art and the cozy cafes nearby, which added to the charm of this location. Highly recommended for those seeking a serene yet vibrant escape in the heart of the city.I bought a railcard on trainpal and got a 20% discount when I entered the RC777E code!

- fionaalfaBelfast, UK72 contributionsGreat place to sit and chill for a few hours after a busy few days in London. Handy to Knightsbridge area Sainsbury’s too so I popped in to buy food for a picnic before I went. Japanese Garden lovely too but much smaller than I expected.Written December 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mariuszonLondon, UK677 contributionsA place quite frequented by lovers of walks, especially with dogs, wonderful views, peace, unfortunately quite troublesome on wet days due to the considerable mud on the pathsWritten December 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Malachy KealeyPreston, UK240 contributionsA nice park walk in London's Greenwich. Home to the Royal Greenwich Observatory and the Prime Meridian, where you can be at the centre of the world's time at the point of 00:00 hours and 0° longitude. Although you have to pay to get in and stand on the actual line itself.
You can also visit the National Maritime Museum (free of entry) which covers much of the history of the United Kingdom and has many valuable exhibitions, most notably the coat worn by Lord Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar.Written January 18, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I’m sure there were other little fun areas too but ours spent hours just at the few places mentioned.
There’s an on-site cafe for food and drinks too (pizza, ice cream etc)
Top Tip: there’s a FREE WATER STATION next to the cafe to re-fill. Enjoy!Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Anna M2 contributionsbrilliant for a day out.

Green Park is one of the long list of parks that breaks the pressure of stone, asphalt and traffic. Take a walk through Green Park and the reward is a confrontation with Buckingham Palace and an even better park. St. James's Park. In the summer, when the weather is clement, deck chairs can be rented, sometimes a sea of deck chairs cover the grass. Green Park is also popular with the office workers for a relaxing lunch.Written December 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- brmusicmanChicago, IL3,157 contributionsLovely park in east London! Definitely off the beaten path for tourists.
I went for a long stroll with a friend following a calorie-heavy pub roast.
It was beautiful - the park has a variety of different attractions, from gorgeous English gardens to water to sporting fields, etc. I quite enjoyed the varying landscapes as we walked in the crisp autumn weather.
It was also a great scene - a diverse group of people enjoying the park on a Sunday; it felt like real Londoners vs. lots of tourists.
The coffee shop was also excellent, with pleasant service.
A perfect place to burn off the Sunday roast calories! Worth a visit.Written October 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are sculptures, walking trails, a lake and an open air concert as wel as a maze.
Been several times in the past and on our latest visit it was an overcast day and was fairly busy. We had a leisurely couple of hours wandering around.
There are chargeable car parks and Crystal Palace bus station is at the south western part of the park, the raikway station is near the southern entrance making it very accessibleWritten December 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SeattleCoventry, UK180 contributionsPostman's Park was a serene and thought-provoking escape in the bustling city of London. The Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice, with its moving inscriptions honoring ordinary people who performed extraordinary acts of bravery, was particularly inspiring. The peaceful gardens and quaint benches made it a perfect spot for some quiet reflection. The proximity to other attractions and the friendly locals added to the charm of this lesser-known gem. A wonderful place to visit for those seeking a quiet moment in the heart of the city, as well as for those interested in learning about the bravery of ordinary individuals.I bought a railcard on trainpal and got a 20% discount when I entered the RC777E code!
