Hyde Park

Park
4 mins
Hyde Park is a popular attraction for many guests staying at hotels in London. One of the largest parks in London, Hyde Park, has a history intertwined with Henry VIII, Queen Caroline, the Suffragettes and other inspirational figures. However, the park itself, beautiful at any time of the year, is impressive enough, from its triple-arched entrance onwards. Visitors enjoy discovering the Serpentine, the lake that forms the border between Hyde Park and neighboring Kensington Gardens (home of the famous statue of Peter Pan), and exploring Rotten Row, the four mile long path favored by joggers, cyclists and horse riders. Just outside Hyde Park is Marble Arch, originally created as an entrance to Buckingham Palace. Another interesting feature in the park is Speakers' Corner, the area set aside for public debate and demonstration.
