I could have stayed here forever. This park makes me want to move to London! It is massive with the most incredible playground for children. I will say that it seemed like EVERYONE in London was there on Sunday, but the park is large enough, you don't feel claustrophobic. There are bikes you can rent to ride through the park.... More

A beautiful green space in the hectic city - always full of locals on a nice day. If I lived in London, I would certainly be one of them, but as a tourist there's really not that much to see here.

Most amazing park. Has something for everyone and a fantastic way to waste away a Sunday. Spacious enough that even the biggest summer crowds can be handled with ease.

Hyde park is another place in London worth spending the day for a BBQ or a picnic. Bring some food and relax

Was great to walk around but a lot of the area near the Marble Arch was under construction! Get a Mr.Whippy and enjoy!

It's delightful to spend some time strolling through Hyde Park. Hyde Park is 350 acres and a subsection, Kensington Gardens is 270 acres. At the end of the 17th century, Kensington Gardens became a separate entity when King William and Queen Mary decided to take up residency at Kensington Palace. The Serpentine (a man-made lake) and Long Lake (a narrower... More

As you come upon Hyde Park in the centre of London it takes your breath away. Nestled in amongst a concrete mass you suddenly encounter this breathtaking spread of grass, trees and shrubs. You instantly forget that you are in the inner city of London and you find yourself inside a lush "green-lung". The park is beautifully maintained and obviously... More

If the sun is out there is little can beat a stroll in Hyde Park and perhaps a cup of tea at the Lido looking over the Serpentine. It is great to see a variety of water birds there (grey heron's included!). The Italian garden was lovely too, and of course, if you have children a paddle in the Princess... More

if you can run or jog, that's how you need to tour Hyde Park. it's quite large and throwing on a pair of sneakers and jogging with a travel companion and a lightweight camera is the best way to do it. It's the perfect park - with a simple twisting road that cuts through it, perfect for cycling or rollerblading... More

All London Parks have such a wonderful atmosphere and this is no different, with a small lake and such a relaxed place to be in the heart of London!
