Hyde park is one of Central London's largest parks. One of the Royal Parks, it's 350 acres straddle each side of the Serpentine, a 28 acre lake. Hyde Park is also contiguous with the 275 acre Kensington Gardens resulting in a combined total of 625 beautiful acres.

Some of the many attractions in the park include Hyde Park Corner with its large stone arch gateway, a rose garden, a wildlife meadow, the Serpentine and Long Water Lakes, the Serpentine Bridge, children's playgrounds, tennis courts, several memorials and memorial gardens, and the famous Speaker's Corner.

Hyde Park Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating A perfect green oasis in the middle of London! Hyde Park is absolutely huge and incredibly well-kept. I loved taking a peaceful walk here to escape the hustle and bustle of the city streets. Strolling around the Serpentine lake and taking in the beautiful scenery is a must. It’s a fantastic place to just relax, grab a coffee, and enjoy nature. A brilliant spot in the heart of the capital that easily deserves 5 stars!

5 Star Rating Hyde Park is a wonderful place to escape the pace of central London. The park feels spacious and varied, with open lawns, mature trees, beautiful flower gardens and the Serpentine, where swans, geese and boats create a relaxed atmosphere. Together with the adjoining Kensington Gardens, there are plenty of statues, monuments and interesting landmarks to discover, making it easy to spend several hours walking. Some areas can get busy, especially around the lake and major attractions, but there is still plenty of room to find a quieter path or bench. A beautiful, well-kept green space and an essential stop when visiting London.

5 Star Rating Delightful place to go for a stroll. Can make your walk as short as long as you’d like and it truly feels like you’ve left the big city once you get into the interior and relax under the trees. Recommend dedicating half a day (preferably in the morning to stay cool) and seeing both Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park together.

5 Star Rating Hyde Park and wanted to share my experience with you, as it is truly one of London's most beautiful and well-maintained green spaces. It offers a wonderful escape from the busy city with its lush landscapes, expansive lawns, tree-lined paths, and the scenic Serpentine lake. The park is incredibly family-friendly and ideal for a variety of activities, including walking, running, cycling, and boating. It is also exceptionally well-preserved, reflecting a strong sense of London's history and royal heritage. Additionally, the facilities on-site are excellent. There are numerous cafés, dessert spots, and dining options with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and convenient credit card payment options are widely accepted. The park also features clean public washrooms and paid on-site parking. For those traveling by public transport, it is easily accessible via multiple nearby London Underground stations. I highly recommend visiting Hyde Park if you are in the area, as it offers a peaceful and refreshing environment for visitors of all ages.
