When visiting Green Park, you will quickly see that it has a wonderfully natural feel. There are no formal flower beds or ornamental lakes \u2013 just centuries-old trees, open lawns and winding paths that make it feel surprisingly peaceful despite its central location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s the perfect shortcut if you’re heading towards Buckingham Palace, but it’s also somewhere to pause for a while and enjoy a quieter side of the city. On a warm summer’s day, you’ll find Londoners relaxing on the grass, reading a book or enjoying a picnic in the shade. With views of Green Park from some of our suites you won\u2019t be able to avoid nipping across for a coffee break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For guests staying in Mayfair who want to escape the pace of the city without travelling far, Green Park couldn’t be more convenient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\nHyde Park \u2013 More Than Just a Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHyde Park<\/a> is much more than somewhere to stretch your legs.

No matter how you like to spend your afternoon, Hyde Park offers plenty of space to make it your own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
