Buckingham Palace is surrounded by other interesting attractions, namely St James’s Park (lovely in the summer – I used to have my lunch there in the summer when I was working in Victoria Street).
Lots of deck chairs, summer music bandstands, lakes, bridges and lawns.
Then there’s the Changing of the Guard, Horseguard’s Parade and so on. Not far from St James’s Park is Piccadilly leading on to the main shopping areas-particularly Regent Street, which is a lot nicer than Oxford Street in my opinion.
