The parks in London allow their visitors to nearly lose all sights of the city. Unfortunately you can still hear the traffic on the streets running around and through the park and the planes heading for Heathrow airport. There were plenty today after Britain had re-opened its airports again yesterday.
The park is a great place for relaxing, walking, jogging, rowing, skating, riding. I just walked through the park, taking pictures. One is of the Pet Cemetery that isn't open to the public (but you can peep over a wall). In 1880 the first dog, Maltese terrier Cherry, was burried here by its owners Mrs. and Mr. J. Lewis Barnes, the last burial took place in 1967.
I also pictured some of the other sights in the park, amongst them the Peter Pan statue (pictured above), the bombastic Albert Memorial and the new Princess Diana Memorial Fountain.
There were quite a lot of grey squirrels around. They have been introduced to Britain from the US and have pushed aside the native red squirrel. That's why British people are so very much fond of the red squirrels, and tourists like the often very tame ones in Hyde Park (Kathrin, this picture is especially for you!)
