Named after a leper hospital dedicated to the St James the Less that was disbanded in 1532, the property a marshland called Eton College was commissioned by Henry VIII and converted to St James Park and Palace. After the English Commonwealth period and after Charles I spent his last sleepless night in St James Palace before his execution to which later his son Charles I refurbished the palace along with its park. St James Park is 23 hectares (57 acres) and one of the oldest Royal parks in London. To the west of the palace is the Buckingham Palace, St James Palace and The Mall at the north, Birdcage Walk to the east and Horse Guards to the east.

London is adorned with many parks for strolls, entertainment and amusement. Amongst other parks in the same vicinity,Apartments West London recommends some other parks that can give you similar delightful experience are Hyde Park, Battersea Park an ancient duelling park now famous for its crops and Holland Park. London is packed with interesting historical marks and stories, hence whilst browsing through our five star self-catering accommodation.

There is quite a lot of breath taking views to take in at St James Park. The park has a small lake called St James Park Lake that has two islands namely, West Island and Duck Island. Duck Island receives it names for the large collection of waterfowls. The first gift of birds to the St James Park was a colony of pelicans by the Russian Ambassador in 1664 – the famous colony still exists. St James Park Lake has a Blue Bridge that showcases a spectacular west view of the Buckingham Palace framed by trees. The east view from the Blue Bridge looks upon the Swire fountain north of Duck Island, past the lake and upon the grounds known as Horse Guards Parade along with the Horse Guards Building and the Old War Office whilst the Whitehall Court is at the back.  The south of the Duck Island is the Tiffany fountain situated on top of the Pelican Rock and when past the lake is the famous London Eye and The Shard. Apartments West London suggests visiting the London Eye to experience spectacular views of London at great heights.  St James Park is close to a chain of parks; Green Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.

Henry VIII bought the land initially Eton College for Cardinal Wolsey with intentions to turn Whitehall then called as York Palace into dwelling of extravagance for the king. On the accession of James I to the throne the park was ordered to be drained and filled with exotic animals including camels, elephants and crocodiles. The park was opened to the public when Prince Charles II returned from France after his exile. The park had a formal and French allure as he was taken up by the extensive French gardens during his exile in France, it was speculated that the park was designed by Andre Mollet. Charles II added a feature by adding extra 38 meters to entertain guests and mistresses, this brought about a lot of mischief to the park as the poet, John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester wrote in his poem, A Ramble in St James Park. Just as many London’s famous tourist attractions find its way into movies, books and poems, St James Park played its part.

Apartments near Westfield London is close to many tube stations, the ones closest to the park are St James Park, Victoria and Westminster. Be it a transit, business or family trip that brings you to London, our self-catering accommodation is equipped to suit any type of travel.

Have you ever explored the Royal Courts of Justice?

Temple

To the north of the Royal Courts of Justice is the Temple an area in London close to the Temple Church. It is one of the main notable legal districts of the capital. The Temple area contains the Inner Temple and Middle Temple which are two of the Inns of Court. The 12th century name recorded was Novum Temple which means ‘New Temple’ named from a house belonging to the Knights of Templar. The name is shares with Inner Temple, Middle Temple, Temple Church and Temple Bar. It consists of barrister’s chambers, solicitors’ offices, notable legal institutions such as employment Appeal Tribunal.

Originally being the precinct of Knights Templar whose Temple church was named in honor of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem.  The pope granted their possessions to the Knights of Hospitaller upon their dissolution where King Edward II ignored the claims to the Knights of Hospitaller and divide the Temple into Inner Temple and Outer Temple. The rightful claim was given back to the Knights of Hospitaller in 1324 but yet gain to another King Edward II favorite called Hugh le Despencer. On Hugh’s death n 1326 the Inner Temple was passed onto the first Mayor of London then to William de Langford in 1333 for a ten year lease.

In order to visit it more places with similar history Holiday Lets London Flats for rent near British Museum recommends you to visit St Paul’s Cathedral. Also Holiday Lets London states when looking to rent a flat in London, to do an in depth research on each attraction to be visited hence the awe of the place can be enjoyed. Also ensure that yourself catering accommodation is in close proximity to all the attraction sites you are planning to visit, this will make you less tired and would help you save money.

There was a petition in 1137 by the Knights towards the king to rectify the grant to a layman. As a result the Inner Temple was divided between the consecrated land to the east and unconsecrated land in the west. Hence the eastern land was called the Inner Temple and the western land the Middle Temple namely. Langford continued to hold the Middle Temple for a reduced rent. The area of the Temple was increased due to the Victoria Embankment when the River Thames was embanked. The original bank of the river can be seen in a drop in ground level from the Inner Temple Gardens or the stairs at the bottom of Essex Street. The core of the district is found in the City Of London and consists of two Inns of Court: Inner Temple (eastern part) and Middle Temple (western part). Both the Inns each have their own dining halls, gardens and libraries and administrative offices all located in their part of the temple. A majority of the land is taken over by buildings called chambers where the barristers practice. Many of the chambers were used as residential quarters for the barristers until the 20th century until a shortage of space for professional purposes limited the residential quarters to the top floors where it was occupied by senior most barristers. Another building to visit while at the Tempe is the 19thcentury building called Old The Outer Temple situated between Essex Court and Strand which is just on the outside of the Middle Temple.

Just like Holland Park giving its name to the Holland Park tube station and Hyde Park giving name to the Hyde Park corner tube station; Temple gives it name to the Temple tube station. Holiday Lets London recommends visiting the Holland Park and Hyde Park which are two interesting attractions sites of London harboring its own stories.
