Overview

A linear mud free walk through 6 miles  of almost unbroken green space in the middle of London. We will be taking in Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park and St James’s Park. Much to enjoy including waterside walking by the Serpentine, the Italian Fountains, the Diana Memorial Fountain, as well as views of Kensington Palace and the Albert Memorial. There are usually snowdrops in St James’s Park at this time of the year. Coffee break at the Lido Cafe where toilets are available. 

The walk finishes at St James’s Park tube station.
