This park is a great place to visit on a sunny day! It has many similarities to New York's Central Park! The park has a great atmosphere, I'd love to go back!

I travel to London a lot and always make time to come here. It is very serene and well kept with a wide variety of wildlife. A nice place to sit if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the busy city.

If you only had an afternoon to experience London on a
