After visiting Buckingham Palace, we walked through the park on the way to the Churchill War Rooms. Though crowded, it is well maintained, with a nice cafe about halfway through the park. There’s a lot of ducks and geese, so much poo everywhere. Definitely a pleasant stroll thru a lovely park, and a rewarding thoroughfare to other sites.

This was an unexpected part of an Evan Evans tour of London. We were on the way to see Buckingham Palace and our tour guide took us through this park. Very nice and we were able to see a guard on horseback as well as beautiful views. Very tranquil.

Without doubt our favorite London park, close to Buckingham and within a short reach from Westminster Abbey and the Royal Horse Guards to name a few. This park is divided by a lovely pond and there is plenty of opportunity to sit on one of the many park benches. There is also a restaurant where you can enjoy a drink. Great park to escape the hustle and buste of a busy city.

On a lovely June day, we were strolling the park and had a magical surprise-- the white pelicans who live in St. James Park. Our timing was perfect since it was feeding time so we could watch them catch their dinner. Simply fabulous.

This park is between Buckingham Palace and Whitehall and also offers views of the London Eye. Parliament Square is also only a short walk away. There is a large lake in the centre - lots of bird life, including swans, geese and pelicans - and other wildlife. A very well located park. Free to enter and a great place to catch your breath of exploring the central London sights.

Fantastic park to walk around and explore, located next to Buckingham Palace. Lots of local people going about their daily life and lots of tourist. Park is very well maintained and has a wonderful lake with some ducks and other bird life. Very peaceful park right next to the heart of London.

Quiet and nice walk around the small lake. A lot of birds, squirrels around. Fed by humans even if signs tell not to. But feeding birds attracts rats and they were there running in open at daytime. But a nice park between Buckingham and Horse Guards

It took about 30 minutes to explore the whole park. There were plenty of greylag geese and other birds around the lake. I also saw pelicans sitting on a rock near the duck island.

This is a stunning park in central London close to Buckingham Palace and a lovely retreat from the streets. There are plenty of lawns and trees surrounding a lake filled with exotic waterfowl. It’s a pleasant stroll around the lake.

This is an amazing and beautiful park, right in the centre of London, by Buckingham Palace. Lovely lake to walk around, with an amazing range of waterbirds - we saw pelicans and Hawaian geese. Easy to access from St James's Park tube station. Free entry, but rather crowded on Saturday.
