Does anyone know the name of the park near Buckingham Palace? It would be to your right if your were facing the palace.

It is Green Park. St. James is much nicer though (the one on the left).

Green Park

Thanks for such a quick respounce!!

Could anyone reccommend a book on the famous Parks in London?

"Famous Parks of London" by Moe D. Laun.?

I am afraid not of my own knowledge. But the Royal Parks Agency page http://www.royalparks.gov.uk/books.htm lists titles that are cheap and interesting. For you perhaps London's Royal Parks, an Appreciation, ISBN 0117528102, or London's Royal Parks, Souvenir Guide, ISBN 189850606. The agency sells each at 3 pounds 95 plus 1 pound 50 post and packing, and Amazon lists them.<BR><BR>Welcome to London<BR><BR>Ben Haines
