Where should I go sight seeing outdoors in London?

St James's Park is one of London’s eight Royal Parks and spans a whopping area of around 57 acres!

The park was first established way back in 1603 and is home to the famous flower beds that decorate the front of Buckingham Palace. If you wish, you can also pop into St James’s Café where you will find breath-taking views of the fountain and the lake as well as the pelicans who call the park home. Pelicans have resided at St James’s Park for almost 400 years now as they were originally presented as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles II. And if you want to experience a truly relaxed sunny day at St James’s Park, you can spend your time chilling out on a deckchair. There is extra fun for the kids as well at St James’s Park Playground.
