Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens

On Saturday, I visited Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. (They are connected so it seems like one huge park). I saw all the main sites- Marble Arch, Speakers' Corner, the Serpentine, Peter Pan Statue, Royal Albert Hall and the memorial fountain to Princess Diana. I also saw the gaudy Albert Memorial and walked to Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana, among others lived.
