Hyde Park

pasamos una mañana por el parque, es enorme, hay que ir con tiempo para poder recorrerlo. y tiene un monton de monumentos por el medio que son preciosos, a mi el que mas me gusto fue la estatua de peter pan

We arrived in London on Christmas afternoon and our hotel was right nearby. Everything else was closed so we decided to take a walk in the afternoon in Hyde Park, all the way to the Albert Memorial. The park was nice, very reminiscent of its New York counterpart, Central Park. But by the time we reached the Albert Memorial, the sun was setting (around 4 pm) and we started heading back the other direction towards our hotel. By the time we reached one of the north gates, it was LOCKED! We searched for another exit and it too was LOCKED! We didn't have a choice but climb over the tall fencing. Felt like we were breaking out of a prison. Definitely an interesting visit to Hyde Park on Christmas afternoon.

Moral of the story: get out of the park before it closes (check the closing times), or you'll be trapped inside like we were.

While not a must-see for tourists, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are absolutely beautiful and worth your time if you have more than few days to spend in the beautiful city of London.
