About St James's Park

St James’s Park is one of the oldest Royal Parks in London and still has much to offer today’s visitors. The Park is at the heart of ceremonial London. It is the setting for many ceremonial parades and events of national celebration. It is surrounded by some of the country’s most famous landmarks, including Buckingham Palace and The Mall. Be sure to witness the Changing of the Guard, a Royal tradition, which occurs daily in summer and alternative days for the rest of the year. If you’re visiting the park in June, be sure to see ‘Trooping the Colour’ which is a spectacular parade to mark the Queen’s official birthday.

But there is another side to St James’s Park. It is also a tranquil place. You can simply relax in a deckchair and watch the world go by. The flower beds and shrubberies can be enjoyed all year round. St James’s Park is famous for its Pelicans and you can witness the wildlife officers feeding pelicans fresh fish everyday at 2.30pm. The Park is also renowned for concerts at the bandstand on weekends in the summer.

Open: Daily from 05.00-midnight all year round.

Reviewed by: Visit London
Kids will love this pretty park right in the heart of London. They can romp in the kid's playground or burn off surplus energy on the extensive lawns. The daily feeding of the Pelicans at 2.30pm is bound to keep little ones enthralled. The four refreshment kiosks and restaurant cafe also offer feeding opportunities for you!
