The Best Scenic Walk Between Buckingham Palace & Whitehall
圣詹姆士公园的点评
点评：Walking through St James’s Park was the most scenic way to get from Buckingham Palace to Whitehall.
It is a very lovely 20 minute walk, although we took longer because we stopped to have a sandwich on a park bench beside the lake. It was very relaxing spot to sit. We spent some time simply enjoying watching the birdlife. Swans glided by, grebes dived down and bobbed back up again, and the ducks clamoured after crumbs.
St James’s Park is the oldest of the eight Royal Parks in London. It has colourful flower beds, mature trees, a large lake with two tiny islands and a couple of fountains, and a quaint Beatrix Potter-like garden cottage, charmingly named ‘Duck Island Cottage’.
However the two highlights are the Blue Bridge and a colony of pelicans.
There’s nothing remarkable about the bridge itself but it’s worth seeking out because when you stand in the middle, you get great views in both directions. To the west, you have a tree-framed view across the water towards Buckingham Palace. In the other direction, you are looking at Duck Island and the Swire Fountain with Whitehall Court, the Horseguards and the London Eye in the background.
The pelicans were an unexpected surprise. They were introduced to the park in the 17th century when the Russian ambassador gifted them to King Charles II in 1664. We wondered what Charles II’s reaction was to this curious gift. Was he a fan of exotic waterfowl? Or was he secretly wondering how soon he could regift them?
I believe that you can watch the pelicans being fed fresh fish between 2:30pm and 3pm near Duck Island Cottage. We weren’t there at the right time but if we had been, it would’ve been a bit of fun to watch.

翻译：从白金汉宫到白厅，穿过圣詹姆斯公园是最美的风景。
这段20分钟的步行非常惬意，虽然我们花了更长的时间，因为我们在湖边的长椅上停下来吃三明治。那里是一个非常适合放松的地方。我们花了一些时间，只是欣赏着鸟类。天鹅滑翔而过，鸊鷉俯冲而下又浮出水面，鸭子们叽叽喳喳地追逐着面包屑。
圣詹姆斯公园是伦敦八大皇家公园中最古老的。它拥有色彩缤纷的花坛、参天大树、一个拥有两个小岛和几座喷泉的大湖，以及一座古雅的碧翠丝·波特式花园小屋，它被命名为“鸭岛小屋”，十分迷人。
然而，最值得一看的是蓝桥和一群鹈鹕。
蓝桥本身并没有什么特别之处，但它值得一看，因为当你站在桥中间时，可以看到两个方向的美景。向西望去，透过水面，你可以看到树木环绕的白金汉宫。在另一个方向，你可以看到鸭岛和太古喷泉，背景中是白厅法院、皇家骑兵卫队和伦敦眼。
鹈鹕是一个意外的惊喜。它们是在17世纪引入公园的，当时俄罗斯大使于1664年将它们赠送给查理二世国王。我们想知道查理二世对这份奇特的礼物作何反应。他是外来水禽的爱好者吗？还是他暗自盘算着什么时候才能把它们重新送给别人？
我相信你可以在下午2:30到3点之间在鸭岛小屋附近观看鹈鹕喂食新鲜鱼的场景。我们去的时间不对，但如果我们到了，那应该会很有趣。
