Description
Surprising to me, and probably other visitors as well, is that the lake St James Park in London is a bird sanctuary! The area is popular with bird lovers, with ducks, geese, pelicans, and swans. St. James Park is considered by many to be the most beautiful of London�s Parks. St. James's Park is bounded by Buckingham Palace to the west, The Mall and St. James's Palace to the North, Horse Guards to the east, and Birdcage Walk to the south. The land was originally a marsh. King Henry VIII ordered the land to be drained and transformed into a Deer Park for the nearby St. James Palace. In the seventeenth century the Deer Park was converted into Gardens by French landscape gardener Andre Le Notre under command of King Charles II. Along the southern border of the Park an Aviary was built- this area is still known as Birdcage Walk. There are wonderful views from the park of the rooftops of Whitehall and the London Eye, as well as of Buckingham Palace. It is a lovely getaway from the noise of the streets!
