Hyde Park - A Royal Park (Part 2)

By NEILMUIR1
April 19, 2011

Hyde Park crosses into Kensington Gardens which is another Royal Park and a mere 275 acres. It is quiet compared to Hyde Park, yet has a lot of beauty of its own. The Italian Fountains that were commissioned by Queen Victoria are very famous, as well as the Serpentine Gallery. On the south side is Kensington Palace, the London Home of Princess Diana, and Princess Diana's children's playground. But it also has the Peter Pan statue, which is much loved by all. Then I will double back through Hyde Park on the south side of the serpentine, and other places. I hope you will enjoy my long walk with me.

Neil,

What a lovely park and your photo's are breath taking.

I so appreciate being able to such beautiful parts of the world so far away that I will never get to see in person but between your photos and stories, it's as if we are right there.

Thank you so much...
