Hyde Park c 1833
Hyde Park, in the City of Westminster, is a large public park in central London. It is one of the Royal Parks, and forms a single open space with Kensington Gardens. It was opened to the public in 1637.

Speakers' Corner, near Marble Arch, is noted for open-air public speaking (and at one time for gay pick-ups).

Hyde Park has been the site of Gay Days and London Pride festivals.
