Hyde Park is the largest royal park in London that became accessible to the public in 1637. It is spread over an area of more than 360 acres and is adjacent to Kensington Gardens, Green Park and St. James's Park. The royal park is a host for several events, celebrations and concerts, while it also gained popularity due to its sports and recreational activities, such as jogging, swimming, rowing, picnicking, ice skating, yoga, horse riding, boating and cycling. The park's current layout was designed by architect Decimus Burton in 1825. The park can be easily reached from any part of the city through five London Underground stations – Hyde Park Corner (Piccadilly Line), Knightsbridge (Piccadilly Line), Queensway (Central Line), Lancaster Gate (Central Line) and Marble Arch (Central Line).
