Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens
The border between Hyde Park and Kensington Park is vague, but the
characters of the parks are quite diffferent. Kensington Gardens was
once part of Hyde Park, until William IV enclosed it to become the gardens
for Kensington Palace to the west. The Gardens are more orderly and
formal than Hyde Park, with a sunken garden and a rectangular pond by
the palace. By Long Water is a statue of Peter Pan, whose author, JM
Barrie, donated the children's swings nearby.
