The Green Park

This green municipal park is located in the heart of London and is overgrown by leafy, old, turf trees. It would not be a typical English park without its well-kept lawns that are inviting all passersby for a bit of relaxation or even a picnic. You would never guess that this area was once a swampy burial ground.

There are also interesting sights to be seen there - for example, the Bomber Command Memorial and Canada Gate Memorial.

This oasis of peace also played a part in English history. In 1840, Edward Oxford attempted to assassinate Queen Victoria here.
