Hyde Park

We were there in October and the fall colors were beautiful. Kensington Palace is at one end, and the Wellington Arch is at the other. We walked from one end to the other, which was quite pleasant. There's a lake with lots of swans and geese. Plenty of trails for walking, running, or biking. The Albert Memorial near the middle of the park is lovely.

If you're nearby and have some time to spare or want to get a little exercise, I recommend checking Hyde Park out.

Although this is a very large park, it is well worth a stroll through. We, my sister, my brother & myself, just returned from an April trip to London. This park, as well as all the others, is exquisitely landscaped. There are several different paths you can take, I suggest the walk along the Serpentine. At the brigde that crosses it you can see the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain with the Lido Restaurant beside it on the bank. After that head west toward Kensington, the birds around the Round Pond are regal. Lots of room for all kinds of activities or just take a bench & relax!!!

Last summer (2004), I spent at least one day a week lying around in Hyde Park with my girlfirend, just talking and watching the day go by. I have never had such a good time in my life. You might assume that it is just a big park and that there is not much to do. However this is so wrong: There is so much to do. We walked around the park for hours, and it was just nice to be somewhere where people will give you your own space and you can just be with someone you love. I know that sounds really cheesy but it is true. I recommend it for young couples who just want to be together but don't necessarilly have that much money. It is also a change to the other carp that you have to do over and over again, for example the cinema. Hope thisreview helps.
