Tranquil Retreat in the Heart of London
Green Park is an oasis in the busy metropolis of London. Did you know it was once a duelling ground?
Founded in the 16th century and associated with royalty, Green Park has a rich history. It spans 19 hectares and features impressive plane and oak trees along with rolling meadows. Unique to this park is the absence of flower beds, a result of a decree from Queen Catherine of Braganza, who banned them after learning of her husband Charles II's infidelities.
