Beautiful time spent on a pedal boat here yesterday. A sunny day (25 celsius), loads of other people of all ages also enjoying themselves. Wholesome fun, good exercise. Boats easy to manoeuvre solo.

This is another must see in London. A long walk inside or outside this area can bring an ocean of tranquility to anyone who wishes to engage in an incredible experience inside Central London. It is great for those who like to walk and there are so many attractions as well as transport nearby.

The Serpentine is a lake in the centre of Hyde Park which is in the centre of London. It's a large park and on a nice day it's the place to visit in Central London. The Serpentine is a place where you can hire a boat. It's also a place where you can go and feed the birds but don't give them bread as this swells up in their stomachs. It's a nice place to walk, run or cycle around. You can bring your dog or friends or family or just do it on your own. On Christmas Day people go for a swim in the Serpentine but it is not something I would choose to do (!)

The Serpentine is in the middle of Hyde Park and we spent about 15 minutes walking alongside the south bank. There were lots of geese, swans and we even saw a heron. There were plenty of benches to sit on and a nice cafe on the south bank as well. You can rent a boat on the north side of the lake and there are special rates for off peak timings and you can save a few pounds as a family of four. The closest tube station to access the Serpentine is Knightsbridge.
