Talk: Hyde Park, London

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Removed comment from body of article:

actually some of the features listed here are in Kensington Gardens - sometimes regarded as part of Hyde Park, although in fact it isn't.

Any chance you know which features those are? -- John Owens 17:37 18 May 2003 (UTC)

OK, got your map handy? Generally speaking (just covering my ass here in case someone comes up with evidence that completely contradicts me) everything to the east of The Long Water, the Serpentine Bridge and the road running south from the bridge is Hyde Park and everything to the west including the Long Water itself is Kensington Gardens.

By that reckoning Kensington Palace is definitely in Kensington Gardens, and so is the Albert memorial, also the Serpentine Gallery, the Peter Pan statue and the Round Pond.

In Hyde Park proper you'll find Rotten Row, Speaker's Corner, The Serpentine, and the Statue of Achilles. Hope that clears things up....
