That is useful information but from rather a small sample. Do you have any supporting evidence?

I have come to like Greenwich Park more and more since I have been living there but I do not think it is as good or as popular or as influential as St James’s Park. Re influence, one could argue that since Henry VIII was born in Greenwich, this is what influenced him to create the park system in Central London.

It would be interesting to collect data and compare the use intensity of the two parks – but would one include the water area in the calculations for St James’s Park?

Every time I visit this park, an idea always comes to me: if a landscape architect has never visited this park, they should not graduate from university to become a landscape architect. That is why I will suggest the Chinese universities organize students to come here instead of going to visit Shanghai as their second year study tour. Another park which I like is Greenwich Park. Greenwich park can make people feel happy, which may be the reason that it used to be called “Park for pleasure’. It could be almost all the reason I came to study in Greenwich, because I can view the urban landscape there everyday. Also, I will suggest to get students to learn and undertake their drawing practice in Greenwich, instead of going to Huangshan, AnHui. They need to stay in Greenwich for one week, feed the squirrels and get to know all the plants’ names in this park. Greenwich Park must be better than their teachers in the university.

In conclusion, I can answer your question about which park is better than St James Park- IT IS GREENWICHPARK!
