Hyde Park, Royal park in Westminster, London, United Kingdom

Hyde Park extends across 350 acres with the Serpentine lake, multiple walking paths, gardens, and recreational spaces in central London.

King Henry VIII acquired this land in 1536 from Westminster Abbey monks and transformed it into royal hunting grounds before opening to public in 1637.

Speakers' Corner maintains its position as a center for public speeches, debates, and demonstrations since receiving official status in 1872.

The park gates welcome visitors from 5:00 AM until midnight, offering activities such as boating, tennis, swimming, cycling, and horse riding throughout the year.

The Serpentine Bridge divides the water into the Serpentine in Hyde Park and the Long Water in Kensington Gardens, creating distinct aquatic environments.
