Hyde Park London

Hyde Park is one of the royal parks. It has the Serpentine Lake separating it from Kensington Gardens and is famous for Speaker's Corner (Marble Arch), horse-riding (Rotten Row) and the many demonstrations often held here.

Star-studded Events in the Park

The park has witnessed many famous rock concerts from artists such as Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

In 2007 stars such as Genesis and Aerosmith performed here and during the summer there are many open air events which include Drama and Opera where famous opera singers such as Pavarotti have performed.

Christmas in the Park

Christmas is always a magical time and this year the park will be transformed into a stunning Winter Wonderland. You can skate on the largest ice rink in London and enjoy an authentic German Market, ride on a huge ferris wheel and experience many other amazing events.

To the south of the Serpentine is the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain which was opened by the Queen in July 2004.
