We are a pair of middle aged unfities but we managed very well to hire a couple of Boris Bikes and enjoyed a tootle in the park, a toot toot of buses (scary) along Piccadilly then deposited easily in theatre land. Just take care to find a rental site where enough bikes are green to go! Otherwise great fun well... More

I love Hyde Park and its calm green existence in the hub of the City just a few yards in places from very busy roads, it is a peaceful oasis and well worth a visit f only to walk through on your journey elsewhere. More

London in April is generally wet. But what breaks up the bleakness is the bursting colour in Hyde Park. I've visited this park each time I've visited London and always find something new. Hours could be spent here. Grab your map, get your bearings, then put the map away and just wander the park. Enjoy it all that is around... More

loved it all. The horses, the roller skaters, the joggers and dog walkers. Wonderful to see bikes for hire and dedicated cycle paths. Don't miss looking for the green parrot flocks either. But watch out for the greedy geese! More

Some really great concerts in the park sometimes, and hotels near Queensway are convenient. More

London is indeed fortunate in having such wonderful parks, like St James' Park, Hyde Park; and further afield Hampstead Heath and Kew Gardens. Hyde Park is huge and just begs to be explored. It is a great place for long walks or bike rides, or just to sit by the Serpentine and watch the ducks. If you are in London... More

This park can be a saviour for those with smaller children. The place is huge and the kids can get out and run. There are some paddle boats that are fun to take out and feeding the birds is always a hit. On the north side there is a good playground. More

Walking through these lovely, huge parks was a true delight. They are maintained with impeccably. The grass was longer in some places, you could walk anywhere on it - no "keep off the grass" signs anywhere. It was so refreshing. We walked for 2 hours till our feet could take no more. More
