5 Of The 10 Most Beautiful UK Parks Are In London, According To New Study

No arguments over here!

While parts of London may seem like a concrete jungle, it must always be remembered that the green space across the city is tough to rival. Whether it’s a simple weekend stroll among the deer of Richmond Park or a bite to eat by the serpentine in Hyde Park, all Londoners undoubtedly have bags of happy memories in the city’s parks.

And now, a new study has found that London lays claim to the most beautiful park in the country: St. James’s Park. That’s according to a new study from Flowercard based on the reviews from TripAdvisor on the parks across Great Britain.

St James’s Park boasting its pelicans and all saw off their noisy neighbour Hyde Park (2nd) to the top spot. Kensington Gardens (5th) , Regent’s Park (6th) and Richmond Park (8th). I certainly don’t have the heart to tell the deer of Richmond Park that the Pelicans finished seven places above them…

As summer approaches, and we slowly move through the end-of-lockdown roadmap; there’s no better time to enjoy the outstanding, ever-present green spaces London has to offer. Just remember, you are currently only permitted to meet with up to six people outdoors.
