Removed para

I have removed the following para from the article:

There are Government offices and corridors, linking the nearby Royal palaces, beneath the east side of Green Park, which continue to run to the south. These are clearly visible on the edges of Green Park and St. James's Park, with the glass roofs just below ground level. The rooms are thought to be conversions of some of the tunnels built as part of the Cabinet War Rooms from the Second World War.

There are two things wrong here:

It doesn't cite any refs

It is observably untrue in that there are no glass roofs "just below ground level" that are "clearly visible" anywhere in the park.

I have no idea whether there are tunnels under Green Park, but if WP is going to say there are, we need a bit more evidence than a falacious "clearly visible". -- chris_j_wood (talk) 18:07, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, I've just checked and this para was added in 2008 by an anonymous contributor who made only one other edit. I now believe that this is a bit of unspotted vandalism. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 09:57, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Queen's Meadow

Is this wildlife meadow still in existence? Most sources are to HRH visiting it in 2016 or 2017, nothing is coming up for any more recent sightings. What I've added is all sourced, but the silence is worrying - and I don't know when I'll next set foot anywhere near London, not having been on a bus or train since March.

Wondering which Walpole got robbed here

Although I was fascinated by reading that Prime Minister Horace Walpole was robbed in Green Park, when I look him up it only says that he was an MP, not PM. Was it his father, Prime Minister Robert Walpole who was robbed in Green Park, or was it his son, Horace the MP and horror writer?

I can find no evidence of Robert Walpole being robbed in Green Park. There is plenty of evidence of Horace Walpole being robbed in Hyde Park, including the wikipedia pages for Hyde Park and James MacLaine which link to sources for that. I checked the source given here and it is also referring to Horace/Hyde Park. I think this was just a mistake. Dracos (talk) 10:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
