Location

Hyde Park is a vast Royal Park situated in the heart of central London. It doesn't have one specific address for the entire area, but a general reference point is often W2 2UH. It's bordered by several key roads: Bayswater Road to the north, Park Lane to the east, and Knightsbridge to the south. To the west, Hyde Park seamlessly blends into Kensington Gardens, although they have been technically separate since 1728. The dividing line runs roughly from Alexandra Gate to Victoria Gate via West Carriage Drive and the Serpentine Bridge. Hyde Park is incredibly well-connected by public transport. Several Underground stations are located around its perimeter, including Hyde Park Corner and Knightsbridge (Piccadilly Line), Marble Arch, Lancaster Gate, and Queensway (Central Line). Numerous bus routes also serve the park along its various boundaries. Being in central London, Hyde Park is close to many other attractions. To its east lies Mayfair, known for its luxury shopping and hotels. To the south is Belgravia, another affluent residential area. Just southeast is Hyde Park Corner, leading to Green Park and eventually Buckingham Palace. A short distance north is Paddington Station, a major transport hub. The shops of Oxford Street are also within easy reach to the northeast.
