The Green Park

London has several large urban parks, and while one of the smallest, The Green Park is still very large. After my latest adventure at the London Eye, I took the underground up to the Green Park station.

Known as The Broad Walk, this tree-lined grass lane traverses the park, from the Canada Gate to the northeast.


One for the many tree-lined paths. Today was a holiday, and many people were enjoying the park.


The Canada Memorial, located in the southest corner of the park.


These Italian visitors don't seem to care that the Canada Memorial is a war memorial. The two ladies behind the memorial, looking none-too-pleased, were visiting Canadians.


Apparently, the Italians either could not read English, or just didn't care.


Another view of the Canada Memorial.


The Memorial's marble is etched with maple leaves.


More maple leaves.
