HYDE PARK offers a wealth of attractions as well as people of all nationalities,
horse riding, skate boarding, running, boating, bird watching, swimming and of course walking.
It's also a great park also just to sit, relax and picnic on the grass. The north and east boundaries of the park follow ancient Roman roads and the notorious Tyborn gallows were located just to the north where the roads crossed. Here men could be hanged eight at a time on the three sided construction, to the glee of thousands of spectators. Ironically, eccentrics now debate near there at Speakers Corner on Sundays, mouthing views that would have seen them strung from the gallows in former times.
