Hyde Park

We were there in October and the fall colors were beautiful. Kensington Palace is at one end, and the Wellington Arch is at the other. We walked from one end to the other, which was quite pleasant. There's a lake with lots of swans and geese. Plenty of trails for walking, running, or biking. The Albert Memorial near the middle of the park is lovely.

If you're nearby and have some time to spare or want to get a little exercise, I recommend checking Hyde Park out.

Were in London for a week in May with my 2 yr old and 8 month old. We had good weather and walked everywhere with my children in a stroller. Hyde Park was great for them. The flowers were magnificent and the kids loved seeing the squirrels and ducks and horses etc. There are restaurants to sit at. Def recommended for children.

After spending our first full day in London sightseeing (walking from Oxford street, over to picadilly, on the tube to the London Eye, over the bridge to Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, back to Harrods, then over to Hyde Park for a break.) We found a Bench along the water and sat for an hour or so. Beautiful place to relax and let the mind unwind. If you like to people watch there is plenty of that to do as well. Also if you enjoy birds there are plenty of them too. I also found the riding trail inside the park very neat, people riding there horses in the middle of London. If you get up early enough you can see the Queens mounted Police taking there horses for a ride. A much needed break in the middle of London.
