St James's Park is the oldest of the Royal Parks of London in the City of Westminster,
London, just east of Buckingham Palace and west of Whitehall and Downing Street.
The St James's area, including St. James's Palace, is just to the north. The
park is 23 hectares (58 acres) in size. St James's Park is bounded by The Mall
to the north, Horse Guards to the east, and Birdcage Walk to the south. The
park has a small lake, St James's Park Lake, with two islands, Duck Island (named
for the lake's collection of waterfowl), and West Island. A bridge across the
lake affords a westward view of Buckingham Palace framed by trees and fountains,
and a view of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, similarly framed, to the
east.
