引人入胜的公园

第一部分

　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　

　　Here are some of London’s best parks for you to explore.

St. James’s Park

At 23 hectares (公顷), St. James’s is the second-smallest of the eight royal parks after The Green Park. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, with brightly-coloured flower beds, a lovely lake and a fountain. It is famous for its pelicans (鹈鹕), which were introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles Ⅱ.

Hyde Park

From hunting to ice-skating, central London’s largest green space really has seen it all. Today Hyde Park is a centre of activity throughout the year. If you’re with kids, visit the nearby Princess Diana Playground, where unaccompanied adults are turned away at the gate. The summer season means festivals, with a large section of the park used for open-air concerts.

Regent’s Park

As one of the largest parks of central London, Regent’s Park is also one of the loveliest green spaces. Among its many attractions are London Zoo, Regent’s Canal, a boating lake, and sports pitches. Performances take place here in an open-air theatre during summer. To the north of Regent’s

Park is Primrose Hill, a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or picnic, offering extraordinary views over the city skyline.

Hampstead Heath

With its rolling woodlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife, Hampstead Heath feels far away from the city. Swimmers head to the three bathing ponds, two of which are open year round. Hampstead Heath is home to a variety of butterflies and bird species. This is a wonderful place for a walk, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across London.
