Hyde Park Fantasy Loop

Join us for this exciting route that's more than just a bike ride.  Starting from Stanhope Place Gate, we'll discover all the amazing sights Hyde Park has to offer.  Riding mostly on tarmac paths we’ll experience the fantasy that is the Peter Pan statue and the 900 year old hand-crafted tree stump called the Elvin Oak.  If it's warm enough there will be plenty of time to dip our feet in the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain before heading on our way again.  This is a flat, circular route with plenty for children and adults to see and is ideal for families or anyone who wants to boost their confidence on a bike all in the name of fun! If you would like to join in the fun but don't have a bike, Transport for London have a great way to join in! Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme Bikes provide a convenient option if need a bike.
