Description:
Every year, London's eight Royal Parks host millions of Londoners and tourists. The parks, which cover a total of five thousand acres, are: Bushy Park, The Green Park, Greenwich Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Regent's Park, Richmond Park, and St. James Park.
The Royal Parks are home to a menagerie of historical locales, architecture, statues and memorials, as well as extensive gardens, parkland, sports areas and entertainment venues. Diversity of uses within the parks encourages patronage by a wide variety of park-goers, from picnickers and walkers to scholars and travelers. And because there is an active effort to preserve the parks and their amenities, future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy them, as well.
The Royal Parks are open to anyone and everyone at no cost. Known as "London's Personal Space," the Royal Parks offer respite and relaxation in the heart of one of the Western world's oldest cities.
