Things to See And Do Near Hyde Park


Hyde Park is situated in the central area of London and is one of the largest and most attractive green grounds in the city. It covers about 140 hectares of land and is one amazing combination between beautiful landscapes, fresh air and lovely attractions.

Therefore, if you are planning to visit London, you can stay in some Park Lane hotel, situated close to Hyde park. However, before you go there, it will be good to gather some information about different things which you can see and do in the area. In that train of thoughts, here is a list with few interesting places situated near Hyde park.
  1. Apsley House was a home to the first Duke of Wellington. It is located in the centre of the city, few minutes way from Hyde Park. In 1947, the seventh Duke of Wellington gave the house to the public, only the private rooms, which are still in use, were kept by the family.

  2. Belgrave Square was initially created in 1820 by Thomas Cubitt. This place is like a time machine that passes through time and goes back hundreds of years ago. There, you will be able to experience one unique historic atmosphere created by the many beautiful houses, all of which built in the mid-19th century. The only change between now and then is the traffic.

  3. Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain is uncovered in 2004 by representatives of the Royal family. This fountain, built in the memory of Princess Diana is designed by Karen Gustafson and includes 545 blocks of Cornish granite.

    So, book in advance the best Hyde park hotel for your purposes and go spend some time in London.
