It is renowned for its Pelicans, who have lived in the park for nearly 400 years, originally gifted by the Russian Ambassador to King Charles II. Enjoy stunning views of the lake, a vital habitat in the park and home to over 15 different species of waterfowl. The park’s famous flower beds in front of Buckingham Palace provide a familiar backdrop for pageants like Trooping the Colour, as well as state visits and other ceremonial events.

The current Cathedral, designed by Britain’s renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren, was built after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, with services commencing in 1697.
