British Museum The world’s oldest museum has no fewer than 6 million items spanning 1.8 million years of world civilization. The collection was started with the bequest of a physician and antiquarian, Sir Hans Sloane, in 1753. In the 18th and 19th centuries travellers and emissaries, such as Captain James Cook, Lord Elgin, Lord Curzon and Charles Townley, added treasures from around the world. The present, Classical style building was completed around 1850. In 2000 the central courtyard was opened as a new public space, the The Great Court. For more London museums Museums

Royalty is depicted from Richard II (1367–1400) to Queen Elizabeth II, and the collection also holds a 1554 miniature, the oldest self-portrait in oils in England. The gallery runs annual prizes for both painting and photography. More London galleries

Between 1824 and 1831, George IV commissioned John Nash to extend the house into a substantial palace, which was first occupied by Queen Victoria in 1837. The extensive front of the building was completed by Sir Aston Webb in 1913. The Palace is now home to the present Queen and the State Rooms are open to the public during summer. Many royal parks and gardens in London are also accessible to the public (see Royal Parks and Gardens). More on royal London View from Trafalgar Square to Houses of Parliament

The Balcony On special occasions, the Queen and other members of the Royal Family step on to the Palace balcony to wave to the crowds gathered below.

Decorative lock on Palace gates

Grand Staircase The Ambassadors’ Entrance leads into the Grand Hall. From here the magnificent Grand Staircase, with gilded balustrades, rises to the first floor where the State Rooms are found.

Top 10 Highlights Changing of the Guard The Palace guards, in their familiar red tunics and tall bearskin hats, are changed at 11am each morning (10am on Sundays, and alternate days in winter). The guards march to the Palace from the nearby Wellington Barracks.

London guide

Royal Parks and Gardens Buckingham Palace overlooks two of London’s most central Royal Parks –St James’s and Green Park – and is just a short walk from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Along with the other London parks, these provide year-round pleasure and an invaluable retreat for all who live, work and visit the city. Many offer facilities for tennis, riding and boating, as well as opportunities for other activities. Picnicking in the park while a band plays is one of London’s greatest summer joys. More on royal London

Regent’s Park Home to London Zoo and an open-air theatre, Regent’s Park is surrounded by John Nash’s Classical terraces. The fragrant Queen Mary’s Rose Garden is a delight .

Top 10 Green Spaces Hyde Park One of the most popular features of this huge London park (seeHyde Park and Kensintgon Gardens) is its lake, the Serpentine, with boats for rent and a swimming area. Horses can be rented and ridden in the park. At Speakers’ Corner, near Marble Arch, you can get up on a soapbox and address the crowds who gather there.

Green Park Popular with office workers, this small park has deckchairs for hire in summer. It was once part of the grounds of St James’s Palace.

St James’s Park London’s most elegant park was laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown. Its lake is home to some 40 varieties of waterfowl. It has an attractive café and, in summer, lunchtime concerts are given on the bandstand (see St James's Park).

Kensington Gardens A continuation of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens was opened to the public in 1841. More recently, the magical Princess Diana Memorial Gardens playground has proved a great hit with children.

traveldk.com

Greenwich Park The 0º longitude meridian passes through the Royal Observatory Greenwich, located on a hill in this leafy family park. There are great views of the Old Royal Naval College, and over London (see

Greenwich). Richmond Park Covering an area of 2,350 acres, this is by far the largest Royal Park. Herds of red and fallow deer roam freely across the heath. In late spring, the Isabella Plantation is a blaze of colourful rhododendrons. The Royal Ballet School is based in the White Lodge, originally built for George II in 1727.

London guide

Primrose Hill North of Regent’s Park, Primrose Hill offers spectacular views of the city skyline from its 66-m (216-ft) summit. Once a popular venue for duels, this small park was saved from development in 1841 when it was taken over by the Crown Commissioners.

Bushy Park Chestnut Sunday in May, when the trees’ blossoms are out, is the time to come to Bushy Park, near Hampton Court. Like Richmond, this park is run by the Royal Parks Constabulary, game-keepers and wardens.

Square 10 Grosvenor The hub of high society from the early 18th century until World War II, Grosvenor Square is the only London square that is owned by the Crown. On its west side stands the imposing American Embassy.

Royal Parks and Gardens Practical information • Royal Parks HQ, The Old Police House, Hyde Park, London W2 • Map C4 • 020 7298 2000 • www.royalparks.gov.uk

Top tips • Most of the larger parks have a number of open-air cafés, restaurants and ice-cream stands. • Parks open at dawn and close at sunset (around 9:30pm in summer). Don’t get caught in the middle of large parks just as the sun goes down. • Open-air concerts, festivals and other events are regularly held in Hyde Park, Regent’s Park and St James’s Park in the summer months.

Sport for Kings Much of the land of London’s Royal Parks was taken from the Church by Henry VIII in the 1530s, during the Reformation. He was a passionate hunter and filled Hyde, Green and St James’s parks with deer. Henry also hunted in Greenwich Park, London’s oldest, having been founded in 1433. From the late 17th century, parks were landscaped and gardens laid out. In 1689 William and Mary ordered the planting of Kensington Gardens. In 1811 the Prince Regent and Nash built the private estate that became Regent’s Park.
