South Bank Ramblers

Tuesday, 27 April 2021  - FOUR LONDON PARKS -  7 miles - Leader: Hilary J

This lovely trail visits four splendid London parks and is dedicated to the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales who had strong associations with many of the sites on the walk. The trail passes through Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park and St James's Park on a series of well laid out, surfaced footpaths. The paths are waymarked with ninety individual plaques, each of which has a heraldic rose etched in the centre. It's a wonderful way to explore several of London's best parks.

Highlights on the walk include the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain, the beautiful Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park and views of Big Ben and the London Eye from Blue Bridge in St James's Park, not forgetting the pelicans in St James's Park.
