I’m incredibly fortunate to be walking distance from so much of central London. Often times this means a good 30-45 minute walk, but on a warm, sunny day, there’s nothing better! Hyde Park offers a range of sights, from long grassy stretches to savor a picnic, or paddle boats along the Serpentine, each stroll in the park can be a new adventure. Here are some snapshots from my weekend stroll.

Who doesn’t love a good bank holiday weekend!? It’s not common to get two whole days off for Easter in the U.S., so I was determined to enjoy the long weekend.
I arrived in London on Friday morning, jet-lagged and hazy from the Red Eye. Luckily, I made up for my daytime snoozing with plenty of exploring, good food and even a dash of pampering.
So, how did I fare? I’ll let you see for yourself.
Saturday: Strolling In Regent’s Park
What better way to burn the jet lag off than by strolling in my favorite park in London? One of London’s Royal Parks, Regents Park is 395 acres of charming gardens, hedges, lakes and even a few athletic fields for good measure. Although I didn’t venture far, I did spend a little time in the Inner Circle, which is home to the Queen’s Rose Garden. Sadly, no roses yet!
