Green Park

Green Park isn't strictly in Mayfair but it is just off Piccadilly on Mayfair's southern border. This popular 47-acre park is always home to people relaxing and playing. The park's existence is recorded as far back as 1554, and since then it's had various uses with a multitude of interesting  buildings being in the park grounds at various points in its history, but now the park is a glorious wide open space.
Travelling across the Park from Piccadilly will bring out out at Buckingham Palace, at the end of Pall Mall.
