Hyde Park is one of the largest parks in central London,England and one of the Royal Parks of London,famous for its Speakers' Corner.
The park is divided in two by the Serpentine.The park is contiguous with Kensington Gardens; although often still assumed to be part of Hyde Park,Kensington Gardens has been technically separate since 1728,when Queen Caroline made a division between the two.Hyde Park covers 142 hectares (350 acres)[1] and Kensington Gardens covers 111 hectares (275 acres),[2] giving an overall area of 253 hectares (625 acres),making the combined area larger than the Principality of Monaco (196 ha/484 acres),though smaller than New York City's Central Park (341 ha/843 acres).To the southeast,outside of the park,is Hyde Park Corner.Although,during daylight,the two parks merge seamlessly into each other,Kensington Gardens closes at dusk but Hyde Park remains open throughout the year from 5 am until midnight.
The park was the site of The Great Exhibition of 1851,for which the Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton.The park has become a traditional location for mass demonstrations.The Chartists,the Reform League,the Suffragettes and the Stop The War Coalition have all held protests in the park.Many protestors on the Liberty and Livelihood March in 2002 started their march from Hyde Park.
On 20 July 1982 in the Hyde Park and Regents Park bombings,two bombs linked to the Provisional Irish Republican Army caused the death of eight members of the Household Cavalry and the Royal Green Jackets and seven horses.
Sites of interest in the park include Speakers' Corner (located in the northeast corner near Marble Arch),close to the former site of the Tyburn gallows,and Rotten Row,which is the northern boundary of the site of the Crystal Palace.South of the Serpentine is the Diana,Princess of Wales memorial,an oval stone ring fountain opened on 6 July 2004.To the east of the Serpentine,just beyond the dam,is London's Holocaust Memorial.Another memorial in the Park commemorates the victims of the 7/7 terrorist attacks,in the form of 52 steel pillars,one for each of the dead.A magnificent specimen of a botanical curiosity is the Weeping Beech,Fagus sylvatica pendula,cherished as "the upside-down tree".Opposite Hyde Park Corner stands one of the grandest hotels in London,The Lanesborough (Formerly - until the early 1970s- St George's Hospital).Stanhope Lodge (Decimus Burton,1824–25) at Stanhope Gate,[12] demolished to widen Park Lane,was the home of Samuel Parkes who won the Victoria Cross in the Charge of the Light Brigade.After leaving the army,Parkes became Inspector of the Park Constables of the Park and died in the Lodge on 14 November 1864.
In 1867 the policing of the Park was entrusted to the Metropolitan Police,the only Royal Park so managed,due to the potential for trouble at Speaker's Corner.A Metropolitan Police Station ('AH') is situated in the middle of the Park.
