Green Park to Hyde Park Corner
After leaving Green Park I walk along Piccadilly passing a house where former Prime Minister Lord Palmerston lived. I also pass the now closed Down Street tube station which used to be a stop on the Piccadilly line but is now home to a newsagent. During World War II it was used by Churchill until the Cabinet War Rooms opened.
