Parks & nature

Despite being an Inner London borough, Westminster is uniquely green, containing the majority of London's central Royal Parks.

* **Hyde Park:** One of the greatest city parks in the world, famous for Speaker's Corner, the Diana Memorial Fountain, and broad avenues for walking and riding. * **St James's Park:** Located directly adjacent to Buckingham Palace, known for its resident pelicans and beautifully manicured flower beds. * **Green Park:** A peaceful, mature tree-lined park with no lakes or buildings, forming a green corridor between St James's Park and Hyde Park. * **Regent's Park (southern portion):** Shared with the borough of Camden, featuring the Queen Mary's Gardens (famous for its roses) and an open-air theater. * **Kensington Gardens (eastern edge):** Flowing seamlessly from Hyde Park, offering quiet woodland and formal gardens.
