Iconic Parks & Squares

London’s landscape is defined by its diverse open spaces, from the historic Royal Parks like St. James’s and The Regent’s Park to significant political hubs like Parliament Square. This collection highlights the city's horticultural variety, including the 17th-century Chelsea Physic Garden and the tranquil Japanese-style Kyoto Garden. Visitors can find panoramic viewpoints at Primrose Hill and Greenwich Park, explore the ruins of St Dunstan in the East, or visit the modern Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. These sites offer a mix of medieval history, Victorian design, and active urban farms.
