Hyde Park / Kensington Gardens

Hyde Park is enormous and seems to be mostly populated by well-to-do looking dog walkers and runners. The park actually consists of two areas, Hyde Park itself and Kensington Gardens, which is more formal.

My favourite Hyde Park memory is watching some tourists try to hand feed a crow. I wouldn’t advise trying that.

Things to do

Kensington Palace

The London residence of the Prince & Princess of Wales, among others. The house is open for tours and has occasional exhibitions.

The royal helicopter occasionally shows up and shatters the peace but I suppose I’d go everywhere by helicopter if I could too.
