London, England travel: Hyde Park

Hyde Park, plus Kensington Gardens, have a combined area of over 625 acres right in the middle of London. Beautiful! Kensington Palace is the Royal residence set inside Kensington Gardens, and Princess Diana remained there after her marriage ended and until the day of her death. Her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, went to local nursery and pre-preparatory schools in Notting Hill, which is a short drive away. Lastly, we are outside the Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences, an arts venue dedicated to Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert. It is situated in the South Kensington area of London , England.

(You can view this video, and other travel videos in full-size and near-DVD quality, travel stills and more at www.jpmeyer.com). Thornbury Castle is part of the von Essen Group of hotels, "a private collection of individual country house hotels in the UK, each with a distinctive style and character of its own" according to www.vonessenhotels.co.uk, but we think of it as Real People having Real Fun!
