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.

The Memorial's marble is etched with maple leaves.
