Why it's Wildland
3.9A spacious patch of green between Piccadilly and Buckingham Palace, where open lawns and mature trees offer a pause amid London’s royal quarter.
The Green Park is a welcome green pause in a highly urban setting. Its broad lawns, mature trees and nearby memorials make it worthwhile for an easy stroll or a quiet break, rather than a destination for a long countryside escape.
