About
Hyde Park is a large Grade I-listed royal park in Westminster that was established as a hunting ground by Henry VIII in 1536 and opened to the public in 1637. The park is divided by the Serpentine and Long Water lakes and has hosted major events including the 1851 Great Exhibition and numerous concerts and demonstrations.
One of London's largest parks with open spaces for running about, playgrounds, and the Serpentine lake for paddleboats and swimming. Children aged 3+ enjoy the space and freedom. The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain is interesting but attracts crowds. Horse riding available at Rotten Row.
