Green Space in London

Julianna Cassata
🌷 Unwind & recharge in these pockets of lush and tranquil green space that offer a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of London. Here are some of the best spots to picnic, claim a park bench, or simply lay down in the grass or against a tree as many Londoners do!

Situated in front of Buckingham Palace, St. James's park is a beautiful place to walk or relax in Central London. It's only a short walk to Big Ben, Parliament & Westminster Abbey from the park.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Julianna Cassata
Seeking slow, savor-worthy travels? I curate food and design-led trips hitting local gems + must-see sights across London, Europe & the US. Hi! 👋 I'm Julianna, a London-based, multi-passionate creative, digital marketer and traveler. I left my corporate job 6 years ago to freelance and to start my small accessories brand, Maragold Designs. Having long-been a travel resource for family, friends and friends-of-friends, I'm looking forward to now pursuing my love of travel in a way that helps others experience places to their fullest! I've always longed for a way to more widely share the knowledge that I’ve gained through first hand experience, countless hours of research and, compiling of recommendations. Enter Thatch! Before moving to London 4 years ago, I lived in Boston and am originally from a small town in Massachusetts. I grew up across the street from my family's Italian-American restaurant which was established in 1933 by my great grandparents who emigrated from Italy. From an early age, this instilled in me a deep appreciation for small businesses. They're truly the heartbeat of any community and I love discovering special local spots on my travels. Check out my guides for some special spots!
