The local area guide to living in Hyde Park

This much-loved London Park is one of the world’s most famous, and covers a huge 350 acres. Sat in the heart of London, it promises peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It’s full of nature and fantastic amenities, including restaurants, tennis courts, a lido, and a children’s playground. It’s also home to a number of festivals and events each year. From the huge Barclaycard British Summer Time music event, to the enchanting Winter Wonderland which transforms the Park for the season, there’s plenty to see and do here.

The area around Hyde Park is just as beautiful – and one of the nicest in London. Of course, as one of the Royal Parks, you wouldn’t expect anything less.

For buyers or renters looking for something more modern, there is also a selection of newer apartments on the Hyde Park Estate.
