The Mall was created as a ceremonial route and during state visits the monarch and the visiting heads of state are escorted up the mall in a state carriage and the street is decorated with flags.

Across the road at Lancaster House will be the Start Pop-up Restaurant, promoting sustainable eating. You'll be able to enjoy a drink or light meal in the Garden, or you may even wish to pre-book the full dining experience and enjoy the splendour and atmosphere of the Grand Hall inside the House, which was recently used to depict Buckingham Palace for the Academy Award winning “The King’s Speech”. All in all, it will be a wonderful, sustainable and - we hope - inspirational day out.

Just North of The Mall is Clarence House, the official residence of The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William and Prince Harry. Clarence House is an important part of the nation’s built heritage and, between 2002 to 2003, the House underwent essential renovation and redecoration. The Royal Household Property Services carried out the refurbishment and worked with organisations including the Forest Stewardship Council to specify and buy sustainable materials and timber from responsibly managed forests.
