Speakers' Corner

Highlight • Historical Site

A Speakers' Corner is an area where open-air public speaking, debate, and discussion are allowed. This is the original and best known.

Speakers here may talk on any subject, as long as the police consider their speeches lawful, although this right is not restricted to Speakers' Corner only. Contrary to popular belief, there is no immunity from the law, nor are any subjects proscribed, but in practice the police intervene only when they receive a complaint.

Marble Arch

Highlight • Monument

Marble Arch is a white Carrara marble arch near Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park, forming the western end of Oxford Street in London. It was built in 1851 in The Mall as the entrance to the new Buckingham Palace, but was erected in its current location the same year. The white marble sculptures represent England, Scotland, and Ireland. Today, Marble Arch is a major transportation hub, constantly busy with pedestrian and vehicle traffic, as it is the convergence point of Hyde Park, Oxford Street, and Park Lane.

The Italian Gardens, Hyde Park

Highlight • Natural

Large landscape garden with a bit for everyone. In summer quite busy on the main greens, but with a bit of searching also quite spots can be found. Cycles are routed mostly around the core of the park.

Serpentine North Gallery (The Magazine), Hyde Park

Highlight • Structure

The Serpentine Bridge marks the border between Hyde Park to the east and Kensington Gardens to the west. Most think of the Serpentine as being on both sides of the bridge but it officially applied to only the eastern, Hyde Park section. The body of water to the west is the Long Water.

Albert Memorial

Highlight • Monument

When Prince Albert died on 14 December 1861, at the age of 42, the thoughts of those in government and public life turned to the form and shape of a suitable memorial, with several possibilities, such as establishing a university or international scholarships, being mentioned. Queen Victoria, however, soon made it clear that she desired a memorial "in the common sense of the word". The initiative was taken by the Lord Mayor of London, William Cubitt, who, at a meeting on 14 January 1862, appointed a committee to raise funds for a design to be approved by the Queen. The control and future course of the project, though, moved away from Mansion House, and ended up being controlled by people close to the Queen, rather than the Mayor. Those who determined the overall direction from that point on were the Queen's secretary, General Charles Grey, and the keeper of the privy purse, Sir Charles Phipps. Later, following the deaths of Grey and Phipps, their roles were taken on by Sir Henry Ponsonby and Sir Thomas Biddulph. Eventually, a four-man steering committee was established, led by Sir Charles Lock Eastlake. Eastlake had overall control for the project until his death in 1865. An initial proposal for an obelisk memorial failed, and this was followed in May 1862 by the appointment of a seven-strong committee of architects. A range of designs were submitted and examined. Two of the designs (those by Philip Charles Hardwick and George Gilbert Scott) were passed to the Queen in February 1863 for a final decision to be made. Two months later, after lengthy deliberations and negotiations with the government over the costs of the memorial, Scott's design was formally approved in April 1863.
