Public Notices - The Green Park

Disruption in The Green Park and St James’s Park
Due to the build for ceremonial events taking place in May and June cyclists, motorists and pedestrians will be impacted by significant disruption in The Green Park and St James’s Park. The decision to implement the necessary closure of roads, cycleways and pathways was made by the multiple agencies involved in planning for the upcoming events with the safety of all park users in mind. Please check https://tfl.gov.uk/platinum-jubilee for up-to-date information on the affected areas.

Cycle Superhighway 3 is temporarily suspended in The Green Park. For the safety of all park users, we ask that cyclists dismount and walk through The Green Park. This walk takes roughly 8 minutes.


Guard Change at Buckingham Palace
Guard Change at Buckingham Palace recommenced on Monday 23rd August. All park roads will be closed to traffic between 10:30 – 1200 on all Guard Change days of Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday during which there will be a vehicle curfew on the roads in St James’s Park and The Green Park.

Toilet upgrades
We have implemented all necessary measures to protect our visitors’ safety and to provide a safe working environment for our attendants. During periods when the toilets are cleaned, we will temporarily close access to the facilities until cleaning is safely completed. We will keep our toilet provision under constant review.

All of our chargeable toilets now work on a contactless system. This accepts credit/debit cards, prepaid cards and mobile wallet payments like Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. Cash is no longer accepted.


The Green Park is a peaceful triangle of mature trees and grasslands and offers a quiet retreat from city life, right next to Buckingham Palace.

Visit a range of memorials, fountains and statues and look out for Royal Gun Salutes when ceremonial guns are fired to mark special royal occasions.

Did you know?

Rumour has it, back in the seventeenth century King Charles II's wife demanded all the flowers be removed from The Green Park after she caught him picking flowers there for another woman. The park still has no formal flowerbeds but is riot of yellow in spring, when around one million daffodil bulbs are in bloom.

The Green Park is one of London’s eight Royal Parks and covers an area of just over 40 acres.

Replacement of Green Park wall, railings and hedgerow

The boundary wall, railings and hedgerow along the edge of Green Park on Piccadilly  – from the entrance to Green Park tube up to the RAF Bomber Command memorial – are being replaced as part of the Westminster Ceremonial Streetscape Project. This project is a joint agency security project, led by the Metropolitan Police Service, which is working locally to replace temporary security barriers with permanent protection measures that blend into the historic setting of Westminster.

Work will begin on Monday 28 January, when park visitors will see a hoarding go up, and part of the existing hedgerow along the edge of Piccadilly will be removed. The work is expected to take several months but there will be no path or gate closures within Green Park, and disruption will be kept to a minimum. The existing hedgerow will be replaced with a new holly hedge.

Work will begin at the western end of the boundary (nearest to Wellington Arch) and will be carried out in 100m sections, in order to minimise disruption to park visitors and wildlife. To protect wildlife, all hedge removal will be stopped during bird nesting season.

We are the charity for London's eight amazing Royal Parks

We care for each of London's Royal Parks for everyone now and in the future to explore, value and enjoy.

Covering over 5,000 acres of historic parkland, the parks provide beautiful green spaces right in the heart of the capital where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city. They're a place for you to relax and unwind, exercise and clear your mind. If it's history and architecture you're after, we have hundreds of buildings, statues and memorials, giving a fascinating insight into London's heritage.
