Birdcage Walk, London

Birdcage Walk is a street in the City of Westminster, London. It runs in an east-west direction beginning at the intersection at Buckingham Gate to the junction with Horse Guards Road, where it continues as Great George Street.

For much of its length, St James's Park is located to the north of it, while to the south of Birdcage Walk are the back portion of the buildings facing Old Queen Street, Queen Anne's Gate and Petty France. At the western end of Birdcage Walk are the Wellington Barracks, where the Guards Museum is located.

Birdcage Walk got its name from the aviary that was located there during the reign of King James I. Storey's Gate nearby was named after Edward Storey, Keeper of the King's Birds. The name Storey's Gate originally referred to a physical gate at the eastern entrance to Birdcage Walk. Today, however, it is the name of a street leading south to Victoria Street and Westminster Abbey.

How to reach Birdcage Walk

Take the Circle Line or District Line to the St James's Park Tube Station on the Broadway and walk a short distance from there.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
