Hyde Park

Park London, United Kingdom

Whether you want to spend a day relaxing, playing sports or admiring nature, statues and monuments, Hyde Park is the place for you. From the Rose Garden to Speakers' Corner you will be surrounded by flowers, fountains and statues, and an atmosphere that will make you forget you are in the center of a metropolis.

In addition to relaxing on the lawn by the lake, a visit to the Diana Memorial Fountain, the statue of Achilles or the Joy of Life Fountain is a must. Especially on Sundays, Speakers' Corner, near Marble Arch, is crowded with wacky types and religious fanatics decrying to the crowds - this is in fact the only place in Britain where demonstrators can gather without having to ask permission from the police. When it comes to sports, Hyde Park has something for everyone: swimming, boating, cycling and skating. There are fields for team games, tennis courts, horse riding trails and a spectacular children's playground.
