Hyde Park is the best place in London for a picnic - it is the largest park in the city with a wonderful lake you can sit by or even go for a ride on a pedalo. Fnd a nice shady spot under a tree and spend a lazy afternoon people watching - London is a diverse city and you can while away many hours watching the colourful people that pass through it. After your picnic why not take a nice long walk around the park to burn off lunch then head down to speakers corner and listen to some weird and wonderful opinions and a joke or two.Hyde Park is the best place in London for a picnic - it is the largest park in the city with a wonderful lake you can sit by or even go for a ride on a pedalo.

Serpentine Road is within Hyde Park and it runs along the top of the Serpentine lake. It's the place to be if you've got wheels and no exhaust pipe. I'm talking: inline skates, wheelchairs, cross country skies, weird bikes that look like scooters with 3 wheels: Trikkes http://www.trikke-europe.com/home.php, push foot scooters, recumbent bicycles (where your legs are out in front of you) and Heelies (wheels hidden in heels).

It's really a promenade, and it's lovely to be there, strolling around just before sunset on a Summer's evening. Traffic and shops are far away and finally, you get a bit of peace and quiet. Heading home at dusk, you might spot the herons, lurking motionless, in the bushes, waiting for the arrival of the Bird Lady.

It can get a bit frenetic at the weekends or bank holidays. Walkers assume they can just amble around the road dreamily, toddlers in tow, whereas marathon-racing rollerbladers assume they can blast down the road at full throttle...

First thing in the morning is fresh too. You could do a bit of celebrity spotting if you were the type of person who would actually recognise one in a jogging outfit. There's a sandy strip running parallel to the road and beautiful horses and ponies canter along (watch out for the steaming piles of digested hay, rollerbladers) or the Queen's guard practising in full finery.

Ice cream, deckchairs for rent, architecture that mushrooms up overnight, arabic ladies in full hijab, guys in hot pants, girls in bikinis.Serpentine Road is within Hyde Park and it runs along the top of the Serpentine lake.
