Hyde Park
While there are plenty of gorgeous gardens and parks to explore in London, Hyde Park is the largest of the four Royal Parks present around the Kensington Palace. This enormous green rectangle seems similar to Central Park in New York with its juxtaposition to the cityscape.
The park was developed by Henry VIII in 1536, originally used as a hunting ground. It was in 1637 that the glorious stretch of greenery was opened up to the public. Today, renting a bicycle and touring this majestic park is complete bliss.
