This is alist of public art inGreen Park, one of theRoyal Parks of London.
Green Park lies betweenHyde Park andSt James's Park, in theCity of Westminster. Much of the present landscaping is the result of remodelling byJohn Nash in the 1820s, and the park had been cleared of its buildings, dating to the time ofQueen Caroline, by 1855.[1] Governments have traditionally been reluctant to situate memorials in the Royal Parks, and there were none in Green Park until the installation of the Canada Memorial in 1994.[2] Since then two further war memorials have been added, with the second (dedicated to the memory ofRAF Bomber Command) drawing criticism for "the un-greening of this section of Green Park".[3]
