Hyde Park

  Hyde Park sits in the heart of London, just west of Buckingham Palace and stretching over 142 hectares. Dating back to the 16th century, it originally served as a hunting ground for royalty before transforming into a public park in 1637. A prominent feature is the Serpentine, a picturesque lake that spans about 40 acres and is perfect for boating in warmer months. Visitors can explore its expansive lawns, famous statues, and even take a leisurely stroll along the winding pathways lined with over 4,000 trees. Whether you're enjoying a summer picnic or attending events like the annual Winter Wonderland in December, Hyde Park offers a vibrant escape from the urban rush.
