In the summer time you can take a dip in the famous Serpentine Lake, or head over to Speakers Corner where you could catch an exciting public speech or debate. Hyde Park is also home to heaps of leisure facilities and activities, such as rollerblading, horse riding, tennis, football and cycling. Check out our Insiders Guide to Hyde Park for more information.

Kensington Gardens, where you’ll find the Diana, Princess of Wales’ Memorial Playground, is a short stroll away. St James’s Park and Green Park are also very close.
