Beneath the lawns of Green Park flows Tyburn Creek, which created the islet of Westminster. Remember we talked about him at the beginning of our walk? Green Park is known for the fact that there is nothing artificial in it. There is only nature and wildflowers grown from plant seeds brought from Sussex. They say that the wildflowers were collected in this park by King Charles II for his mistresses. His wife Katarina Braganskaya ordered to destroy all the flowers in the garden. The park became duels place In the eighteenth century, while a haven for robbers at the beginning of the nineteenth. Today, the park connects Hyde Park and St James's Park and is the smallest royal park. The statue of the goddess Diana was erected at the entrance to the park in the fifties of the twentieth century. Many consider this statue to be a mystical omen of Princess Diana.
