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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
