Plane Trees Lining The Mall, St James’s Park, London

St James Park in London in 2019
London plane trees line The Mall in St. James's Park, one of London's oldest Royal Parks. Established in the 1600s and redesigned by John Nash in the 1820s, the park serves as a ceremonial route connecting Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. The trees, planted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are noted for their resistance to urban pollution and distinctive bark patterns. On pleasant spring afternoons, this tree-lined avenue offers a tranquil space for pedestrians.
