Start with Green Park \u2013 Right on Your Doorstep<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply walk down Half Moon Street or Clarges Street to access The Green Park which is your closest park to The Washington Mayfair Hotel. It\u2019s ideal for a morning jog, an afternoon picnic, or simply a quiet stroll beneath the shade of mature trees. Unlike its more ornamental neighbours, Green Park celebrates simplicity and was created by King Charles II so he could walk from Hyde Park to St. James\u2019s Park without leaving royal soil. Start your day the right way by grabbing a takeaway coffee from a nearby caf\u00e9 and enjoying the serenity of Green Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Royal Walk Through St James\u2019s Park<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow in King Charles II footsteps as you travel through Green Park to arrive next at St James\u2019s Park.

Make sure to walk across the Blue Bridge for a panoramic shot of the London Eye, Horse Guards Parade, and the Palace all in one frame. It\u2019s a romantic setting, ideal for couples visiting the city. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Explore Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you leave, walk back along The Mall for a final gaze at Buckingham Palace before heading down Constitution Hill on your way to Hyde Park. If you love history you may want to stop at Aspley House on the way for a tour around the home of the first Duke of Wellington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hyde Park is one of London\u2019s largest and most vibrant green spaces. Here you\u2019ll find a whole host of things to do! Like renting a pedal boat on the Serpentine, visiting the Serpentine Galleries, or discovering the history of Speakers Corner. As you continue your tour of the Royal Parks continue west through Hyde Park and you\u2019ll enter Kensington Gardens, home to Kensington Palace, the Italian Gardens, and the charming Peter Pan statue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip: <\/strong>For another great way to see the Royal Parks from Mayfair and maybe explore further afield, rent a Santander cycle just outside the hotel on Curzon Street and enjoy a scenic ride through the above route with the option to extend to Regent\u2019s Park and Primrose Hill.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a busy day exploring the parks, retreat to the elegant comfort of The Washington Mayfair Hotel<\/a>.
