I traveled to stay in the center of London as I had a tour and a concert coming up. I first walked around Hyde Park to enjoy the fall colors. It is known for great open areas and host to many events. They were getting ready to open Winter Wonderland that I hear is a big event.
i walked through Hyde Park towards Kensington gardens. Quite the beautiful walk with a few monuments dotted here and there. I viewed the Diana Princess of Wales fountain. Two springs of water bubble up and flow into a calm pool.
i stumbled upon the Serpentine museum in the park that is free (you still need to book the free ticket time slot). The artist featured is a Nigerian artist that used sound with giant speakers to complement his art. It was interesting to sit and be surrounded by music while viewing the artwork.
i continued the walk past statues of the Duke of Wellington and Peter Pan and the Round Pond towards Kensington Palace and the statue of Queen Victoria.
Around the palace are gardens including the Sunken garden where Diana used to frequent and talk to the gardeners. Her sons commissioned a statue for the garden.
