Hyde Park

Hyde Park has been a Royal Park since 1536 when Henry VIII acquired the land. The two most famous features of the Park are the Serpentine, a lake much used for boating and swimming, and Rotten Row, the world famous riding track and first public road to be lit at night in England. There are almost four miles of horse rides as well as cycle and roller- blading routes. Hyde Park is also one of the best places in London for jogging, combining easy access with world famous views. On Sundays at Speaker's Corner, London's most vocal orators share their opinions with the world.
