History
St James’s Park is the oldest Royal Park in London. On James I's accession to the throne in
1603, he ordered that the park be drained and landscaped, and kept exotic animals in the park,
includingcamels, crocodiles, and an elephant, as well as aviaries of exotic birds along the
south. Charles II opened the park to the public, as well as using the area to entertain guests.
On his desire had the park redesigned in a more formal style, probably by the French
landscaper André Mollet. At the end of the 17th century and early 18th century were the cows
in the park and could to buy fresh milk in "Lactarian".
