Buckingham Palace Gardens

Buckingham Palace Gardens are the Queen's back garden. The gardens occupy a 42 acre (17 hectare) site in the City of Westminster, London between Constitution Hill to the north, Hyde Park Corner to the west, Grosvenor Place to the south-west and the Royal Mews and Buckingham Palace to the south and east. Notable features include a large 19th century lake, which is graced by a flock of flamingoes, and the Waterloo Vase.
