Picnic in the Park
Saint James Park, The Mall, SW1A 2BJ
Monday 17th August 2026
It's time for our Annual Summer Picnic!
Join us on a sunny August evening to catch some sun and connect with your local WES community members.
📅 Monday 17th August
🕑 18:30 until Sunset
📍 St James' Park (Meeting Point: Duke of York Column, at the top of St James Steps - See below for more information)
👥 The more the merrier! Non-WES members are welcome to join us, so feel free to extend the invite to any friends/colleagues who may be interested!
🧺 What to bring: Some food for yourself, some sun cream (if the weather is anything like it's been recently!), and some curiosity (optional extras: snacks to share, games, picnic blanket)
As usual, if the forecast is looking rainy, we will head over to the nearby Horse & Guardsman.
Location information:
The Duke of York Column is a 7min walk from Piccadilly Circus Station, or a 9min walk from Charing Cross.
For those looking for last-minute picnic foods, there is a Tesco Express near both train stations.
At around 6:45, we will head to the park. For those joining us later, we will keep in the section of the park near the meeting spot and The Mall, as shown in the image.
