72Hyde Park: sport, family activities and special events in one of central London's Royal Parks.
Because there is a great deal of space, there’s an awful lot of room to do all the different things that people enjoy doing in Hyde Park. And most of the activities and areas are free to enter, so it's a family outing that won't break the bank. As a family, we spend quite a lot of time here, usually cycling from our home in Bloomsbury to the Park, and then cycling around getting off to play in the playground, walk or just sit on the grass and chill.
