HIDE PARK

Hide Park is the greatest People's Park in Europe. But its aristocrat tradition is maintained. It remains a Royal Park (1). Hyde Park is just 4 hundred years old as a Royal Park and 3 hundred as a People's Park.

Hyde Park is nature's own plan, London's heritage from the prehistoric forest which surrounded London long long ago.

Hyde Park is quite English: those responsible for its plan knew, as well as the modern travel writer, the value of "unknown" and "off the beaten track" to the Englishman. The architectural treatment of Hyde Park is unique in Europe. Simplicity itself, straight and narrow paths dissect it. There are no artificial winding ways to guide the wanderer into its secret groves (2). In another sense Hyde Park is unique in Europe. Onecan walk or lie on the grass, play game, take one's exercises. The freedom of our ancestors is restored, and one can bathe and row in the Serpentine. Hyde Park begins, at 5 o'clock in the morning.

In winter it is dark and cold. Space and time, with a thousand years of history, are blotted out.

In spring dew is on the ground. At no other time is Hyde Park like this. The scent of awakening nature is in the air. The roads around are silent, and the only sound is of birds. Sometimes at this hour sheep are driven in to graze.

Summer is the horses 'time. Riding early in the morning in Hyde Park is the ancient tradition. They are few and usually ride in groups. They exchange salutes, and there are ladies riding with them (3), the men raise hats and lower them with a deep bow.

The early morning exercises of dogs are simultaneous with that of horses. Generally they are taken out by butlers or by servant girls, But some people are so fond of their dogs that they take them out themselves.

For these animals Hide Park is a Paradise. They are at liberty to romp and disport at their will. Until quite recently a dog could be buried in Hyde Park. There was a littleDog Cemetery near the Victoria Gate. But for the 35 years it has not been functioning because there has been a room for no more of them(4).
