Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens
Located from Kensington Palace to the west of Oxford Street, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are great places to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Both Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are free to the public and contain many remarkable sights, such as the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain, and Serpentine Lake.
