The phrase "one for the road" allegedly began with condemned prisoners getting a final drink on their way to the gallows — right where Marble Arch stands today. This self-guided audio tour of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens walks you through centuries of stories like these, all at your own pace using our app.
From the free-speech legacy of Speakers' Corner to the Serpentine Lake, you'll cross from Hyde Park into Kensington Gardens, where Peter Pan's statue was secretly installed overnight as a surprise for London's children. You'll see Princess Diana's memorial fountain and the Italian Water Gardens, a Victorian masterpiece gifted by Prince Albert to Queen Victoria.
