More Wooden Benches Heading To St James's Park: A Historic Oasis in London

Posted on August 16, 2024

St James's Park, the oldest Royal Park in London, is an essential part of the city's ceremonial landscape. Established in 1603 as a hunting ground, the park spans 23 hectares (57 acres) and is bordered by notable landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Whitehall, and The Mall - a ceremonial road that runs through the park, often used for royal events and parades.

The park features a large lake, complete with a picturesque fountain, and is home to a variety of waterfowl, such as swans, ducks, and geese. Visitors can stroll along its scenic walking paths, which are lined with trees and vibrant flowerbeds, providing a peaceful escape from the urban environment.

Royal Parks London

Royal Parks London who manages all of these parks in London has been a valued client of ours for an extended period, during which we have had the pleasure of crafting numerous bespoke wooden benches tailored to their specifications. Our collaboration continues as we prepare to send a new batch of uniquely designed benches to St James' Park in London.

These benches are a blend of Royal Parks' original designs, incorporating elements from our established models, including the Mendip, York, and Scarborough benches. The combination of these styles results in distinctive pieces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

As we transport these benches to their new setting in St James' Park, we trust they will complement the park's serene environment and provide a comfortable resting place for visitors. We look forward to seeing these bespoke creations enhance the beauty of one of London's most cherished green spaces.
