St. James’s Park
The oldest of London’s eight Royal Parks, St. James's Park is steeped in history, surrounded by the Houses of Parliament, St. James’s Palace and Buckingham Palace.
The Park is also a beautiful green space in the centre of the city and visitors can stroll by the lakeside, watch ducks and listen to the birds, offering delight and relaxation to all.
As the charity for the Royal Parks, we exist to enhance, protect and preserve St. James's Park and all of London's amazing Royal Parks, for future generations.
With your fantastic support, we’re able to reach out to make St. James’s Park part of more people’s lives by raising funds for a wide variety of projects from wildlife conservation and landscape restoration, to community sport, education and art.
