Hyde Park

One of the things I love about Hyde Park is that at any day you can escape busy London and relax in a green and beautiful park. I honestly did not do this enough when I lived in London, but I really wish I did.

Hyde Park is huge – it is 350 acres and has a few famous landmarks that you have to see if you´re ever in London; the Serpentine Lake, Speaker´s Corner and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain. You also have the Rose Garden and you can go on a boat ride and go horseback riding, or simply rent a chair somewhere in the Park and enjoy a good book. Either way, the park has so much to offer for both locals and tourist and on a sunny day you will find a lot of people enjoying the park.

I love the busy city life, but sometimes it is nice to not hear the car horns and people running to the nearest tube station. Hyde Park is the place to go!

And not just during the summer. In the December there is the famous Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, which is a must to visit if you´re in London before Christmas. You will for sure feel very Christmassy after ice-skating and drinking mulled wine on a cold London night.
