The Royal Parks of London are lands originally owned by the monarchy of the United Kingdom for the recreation (mostly hunting) of the royal family. They are part of the hereditary possessions of The Crown. ==Parks== With increasing urbanisation of London, some of these were preserved as freely accessible open space and became public parks with the introduction of the Crown Lands Act 1851. There are today eight parks formally described by this name and they cover almost of land in Greater London. * Bushy Park, 〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/bushy_park/〕 * Green Park, 〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/green_park/〕 * Greenwich Park, 〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/greenwich_park/〕 * Hyde Park, 〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/hyde_park/〕 * Kensington Gardens, 〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/kensington_gardens/〕 * Regent's Park, 〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/regents_park/〕 * Richmond Park, 955 hectares 〔http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/vo020207/text/20207w18.htm| Written answer to the House of Commons from the Head of the Royal Parks Service, 7 February 2002〕 () * St. James's Park, 〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/brompton_cemetery/〕 Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens (which are adjacent), Green Park, Regent's Park and St James's Park are the largest green spaces in central London. Bushy Park, Greenwich Park and Richmond Park are in the suburbs. The Royal Parks agency also manages Brompton Cemetery, Grosvenor Square Gardens, Victoria Tower Gardens and the gardens of 10, 11 and 12 Downing Street.〔http://www.royalparks.org.uk/press/2011/press_release_248.cfm〕 Hampton Court Park is also a royal park within Greater London, but, because it contains a palace, it is administered by the Historic Royal Palaces, unlike the eight Royal Parks.〔(Richmond Borough Council )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Parks of London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
