Once the hunting ground for Henry VIII, this
large royal park is best known for its famous Speakers' Corner,
where people speak their minds; Rotton Row, a famous horse-riding
area; and Serpentine Lake, home to waterfowl and oarsmen.
Separated from Hyde Park by the Serpentine, a lake used
by boaters and swimmers, this park is calmer and more peaceful
than its neighbour, and features many attractions including
a statue of Peter Pan, Albert Memorial and the Serpentine
Art Gallery.
This magnificent Victorian elliptical hall is a memorial
to Prince Albert. The Albert Hall is now the venue for a variety
of events, including pop concerts, beauty contests, sporting
events and most famous of all, the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts
simply known as The Proms.
