Tourists will want to see all the wonderful green spaces in the English capital when they arrive on holiday. The city parks are one of the best features that London offers with the chance to have a leisurely walk, run or relaxing picnic with fellow travellers. These parkland areas are also perfect for playing some sports such as football and rugby, and some also offer boating trips across the water such as Hyde Park. The parks are naturally very busy destinations at any time of year. The sunshine will clearly bring out the crowds but on any given day, whether it’s bright or rainy, they will attract travellers who want to visit.
Visitors based in the centre of the capital have many options to get around to the green spaces. If they are ideally nearby then they can walk to the destination, or there are the options of taking the tube, bus or cycling. Hyde Park is a popular green space that is visited for its incredible Serpentine Galleries, Princess Diana Memorial Playground, and its beautiful horse-riding tracks. Hiring a bike is definitely the way forward here as tourists will certainly enjoy seeing the park by cycling through. The nearest tube station is Hyde Park Corner, but if tourists want to head to Kensington Palace then Kensington High Street is the right stop.
