One of a series of free walks from the Westminster Guides supported by Inside Out to celebrate open-air arts and culture in Westminster! Booking is mandatory.
Discover the stories behind the monuments of Park Lane and Hyde Park on this guided walk through one of London’s most historic boulevards.
Please meet directly under Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner (W1J 7JZ). Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the start time. The walk will finish by Marble Arch (W2 2UH).
From wartime remembrance to tributes to scandalous poets, we’ll explore the memorials that line the edge of Hyde Park and uncover the people, events and ideals they commemorate. We will uncover heroic animals, a Germanic dragon and New Zealand’s finest. A gentle stroll through one of London’s iconic green spaces, starting and ending by a tube station.
This is one of 25 “A Wander through Westminster” Walks offered by the City of Westminster Guides in conjunction with the Inside Out Programme that celebrates open-air art and culture in Westminster.
