Located in the heart of central London Hyde Park is the largest in the city. So far I have not found the time to explore all of its areas but from what I did see it's quite spectacular. This enormous park includes over 4,000 trees over 350 acres is one of the Royal Parks of London and apparently is famous for Serpentine Lake, the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, and something called Speaker's Corner. The latter being an area where public speaking, debates, and/or discussions are encouraged. As a result protests and demonstrations often start in that section and may or may not spread throughout the city.
Although it's getting colder by the day, general activities in the park include swimming, boating, cycling, and walking/running. In addition, there are tennis courts, fields for other ball games, and a large children's playground. In the winter ice skating is apparently available from November to January but am no so keen on that. There are two restaurants by the lake which I intend to visit soon enough. I'm realising week after week that there is so much to do/see in London and I'm getting worried that I'll run out of time.
For more info about Hyde Park and all its events, including the Winter Wonderland 2013.
