    Off The Beaten Path: London a green city
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Parks of London are large.

    You can walk for miles across the centre of London going from one to another, at times feeling like you are almost in the countryside.

    Try starting in Holland Park, go through Kensington Gardens, onto Hyde Park, across the corner of Hyde Park Corner into Green Park and St James’s Park, and you will hardly feel that you are in one of the busiest and most bustling cities in the world.

    Off The Beaten Path: Hyde park
  • Tip Rating:
  • Hyde park is the largest park in central London.

    Speakers’ Corner at the Marble Arch corner of the park is an area set aside for anyone who wishes to speak or preach about anything.

    Always highly entertaining, speakers vary from the serious to the completely wacky.

    Sunday is the busiest and best day to visit Speakers’ Corner.
