Steeped in history, massive trees, lakes and ample chances to engage in various activities of entertainment including boating, swimming, cycling and even horse riding, London’s Hyde Park is one of London’s eight celebrated Royal Parks. Each year hundreds and thousands of citizens of London and tourists take to Hyde Park to enjoy its unique beauty and leisurely activities.
Hyde Park’s rich history is laden with momentous mass protests like that of the suffragettes. A visitor who might stay at a London luxury hotel such as the well placed COMO Metropolitan London is most likely to take some time to visit Hyde Park during their holiday. At present, the resplendent Hyde Park is the ward of the great City of Westminster.
One of the largest parks in the London landscape, this particular park is linked to three other similar royal gardens namely; Kensington Gardens, Green Park and Saint James’s Park. The 350 acre, Hyde Park itself is separated by two lakes aptly called the Serpentine and the Long Water Lake.
Hyde Park is home to a few memorable attractions in London like the Princess of Wales Memorial fountain. Some assume that Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are part and parcel of each other. But ever since Queen Caroline separated the two in 1728, the two parks have been considered two individual parks. The difference being that Kensington Garden closes at twilight while Hyde Park remains open to all through every season from five in the morning to midnight.
The beautiful landscape of Hyde Park is breathtaking and beautiful during the day and on a clear night when stars shine their light on its beauty and visitors, the whole atmosphere takes on a royal glow.
