Hyde Park is one of those places that is such a part of London that local or visitor you really should go there. It's great for picnics, boating on the Serpentine, a pleasant stroll or even listening to a whole range of views at Speakers Corner.

It is a huge park and whilst it does get very busy on sunny days, there are far quieter spots if you want a bit more peace and quiet. It also has cafes and toilets and is easily accessible by public transport - Hyde Park Corner and Lancaster Gate being two of the easiest stations to get there from.

Right in the heart of London, it's a real must for anyone.]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:18:54 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/175p77386386051 RR123 51.506979544573 -0.16977310180664 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/190h28

Nice park - special for the number and variety of people who wander through or spend time there. This includes the once significant throng of football players that turned up on a Sunday for a game, though they petered out over the years. A unique place is near the south western edge where you can watch or play some (amateur!) tennis coaching, horse riding, frisbee, and football, sometimes at the same time. Theres a nice fountain area towards the north east end of the park where people sit and mingle, and also access from there to the Bayswater road where artists display their paintings on Sundays to browse or buy.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:42:59 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/190h28617819143 HotRod 51.506979544573 -0.16977310180664 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/109ht8

Hyde Park is London's equivalent to New York City's Central Park. A large open space in the middle of London's urban sprawl. Hyde Park played host to the o2 wireless festival this year which was headlined by Morrissey and Jay-Z. In past years Hyde Park hosted live8 and other big events. In winter the park is also great as one is able to ice skate on the serpentine. The park is also home to speakers Conner a great reminder of British freedom of speech but it is not free from deranged ranters convinced that Gordan Brown is in fact some kind of robot.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:20:06 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/109ht8209324526 carumbasra 51.506979544573 -0.16977310180664 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/164gh7

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.]]> Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:29:53 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1l8fl81514572023 boogaloo 51.506979544573 -0.16977310180664 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1k6fw8

You cannot visit London without visiting Hyde Park. It is a very famous movie location, not to mention a national treasure. It may look dull from the outside but do nto be fooled by the park's simplistic look. There are plenty of activities going on inside the park, such as rowing and theatre and open-air acrobatics. Despite this, often T in the Park or Party in the Park or other concerts are held throughout the Summer at Hyde Park. I attended Live 8 and that was a blast. The park can accomodate 60,000 people on ocassions such as this. To get here I recommend going to Green Park station and walking from there, as it is actually closer than walking from Hyde Park Corner tube station. When you get to the park, pick up a map as you will need it. It will help guide you out through the best exit (nearest to your next port of call during your stay in the capital). Overly Hyde Park has a lot to catch up with to stay in line with other parks around the World. For example Madrid's Retiro Park is much like Hyde Park but is maintained more so. Hyde Park requires more maintenance and I'm sure it will become a world famous landmark. Right now you mostly see joggers and people walking their dogs in there. It is a nice place to visit if the weather is good. Avoid if it is rainy as it does not work its charm on such days. Best time to visit is in the summer when activities, concerts and public events are being held. Due bare in mind that public presence is higher in these months so it can be quite busy.]]> Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:39:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1k6fw81631588730 yasirkhan316 51.506979544573 -0.16977310180664 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1h4fp8

This park is the perfect place to escape to during the summer months aswell as spring for a good old fashioned picnic. Everywhere you look is so peaceful and if you look around you will find the perfect spot. Once your done eating you can have some fun with the kids of just walk around the park. If you are feeling like preaching there is a corner of the park where people just talk about there theorys of the universe or other stuff. Recommend it.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:42:24 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1h4fp81308869666 arainn123 51.506979544573 -0.16977310180664 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1e5bp7

With the arrival of global warming the british summer is becoming warmer with lots of sunshine. Why not take advantage of this and have a picnic in hyde park. Obviously there are some very nice spots if you search, but if i was to reveal my favourite online i would find someone there next time i visited - you will have to find your own :P.
after you've enjoyed your meal there is plenty to do such as football or frisbee, and for some after lunch entertainment head down to speakers corner where you will find people preaching about aliens and their theories of the universe.]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:13:52 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1e5bp71422768566 deadleg21 51.506979544573 -0.16977310180664 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o62j8w/hyde-park/1b42x9

To be honest it's been a while since I had a good old-fashioned style picnic in Hyde Park in the summertime (well about a year).

A friend recently organised one for a few weekends time, so this prompted me to put this up on the website and see whether the Hyde Park Picnic theme struck a cord with fellow TP users.

Tips?
- Locate near a Public Convenience? Some at North End by Bayswater or near Serpentine Gallery
- Try not to pick a popular football spot or you will find yourself spoiling a football pitch or being in the middle of one
- Check the weather forecast
