Worth getting off for

Walk through Green Park to the palace exterior, then choose St James’s Park for a longer green route.

Pause at the Canada Memorial, set away from the busiest Piccadilly frontage.

Pick up a picnic before entering the park; food choices are more limited once you are on its paths.

The Blue Posts on Bennet Street is a nearby pub option on the St James’s side.

Station → Green Park → Canada Memorial → Buckingham Palace exterior → St James’s Park. Allow about an hour without a palace visit.

The park and palace exterior views are free.

Make this a picnic stop, with room for children to reset between attractions.

Green Park became a royal park under Charles II in the seventeenth century.
