If you read my recent post on my walking commute musings, you might have noticed a snap of one of my favourite parts of London: the Duck Island cottage. The thing is… ever since I moved to Westminster in 2013, I simply cannot get enough of St James’s Park. So since this love has manifested itself in a myriad pictures, I thought I should do a post just on that: an album of my best snaps of the Park all through the seasons to mark my second anniversary living in SW1.
If you’re planning to visit London anytime soon, you should add it to your list. No matter the season, St James’s Park is a joy to visit – whether it’s the flowers and plant arrangements so carefully put together by the Royal Parks’s gardeners or the birdlife and squirrels that attract tourists’ attention (and impromptu feeding).
It looks like spring is here 🌷

One of my favorite spots in #London: the #DuckIsland #Cottage. Birds of various kinds have been kept at the site since 1612 and the cottage firsts built between 1840-41 and restored in 1982. Various plants and #flowers are grown in it’s gardens but I have to say that #peonies are probably the most #instagramable. A photo posted by Eleni Sardi (@greekstreet) on Jun 3, 2014 at 10:38am PDT
March marks my 1-year anniversary living in #Westminster and this is probably the spot I’ve snapped the most: #StJamesPark. Having seen all #fourseasons unfold in the #park, I can definitely say it’s one my favourite places in #London. Ever. A photo posted by Eleni Sardi (@greekstreet) on Feb 24, 2014 at 6:05am PST
