Breathtaking park in the heart of London. Truly, you could spend the best part of a day visiting all the different locations there.
Always well maintained and never packed, even during the summer.

One of the London’s best park. Great place to go for walking, jogging or simply hanging out with friends or families. For me the best time to visit is during autumn where the leaves turned yellow and red, simply beautiful and peaceful.

Great and huge park in London, a nice place to visit in solo or with family, for working, jogging, cycling or just for walking. There are many spots to see, there some cafes where you can grab a cup of coffee or some food. Extremely recommended.

It’s a big and beautiful park with a lot of green and open space, where you can take dogs, walk and run, as well as ride a bike. I thought the space was great.
I loved it.
To have a picnic and take children, I found the place perfect.
The location of neighbouring is good.
There’s a store of souvenirs and some place to eat.
