Removed comment from body of article:

actually some of the features listed here are in Kensington Gardens - sometimes regarded as part of Hyde Park, although in fact it isn't.

Any chance you know which features those are? -- John Owens 17:37 18 May 2003 (UTC)

OK, got your map handy? Generally speaking (just covering my ass here in case someone comes up with evidence that completely contradicts me) everything to the east of The Long Water, the Serpentine Bridge and the road running south from the bridge is Hyde Park and everything to the west including the Long Water itself is Kensington Gardens.

By that reckoning Kensington Palace is definitely in Kensington Gardens, and so is the Albert memorial, also the Serpentine Gallery, the Peter Pan statue and the Round Pond.

In Hyde Park proper you'll find Rotten Row, Speaker's Corner, The Serpentine, and the Statue of Achilles. Hope that clears things up....

[edit] Primary dab

Surely this should be the primary dab at Hyde Park? violet/riga (t) 2 July 2005 23:50 (UTC)

I've set Hyde Park to redirect to Hyde Park, London, as the park in London is arguably the most well-known location. jareha 22:08, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] up and coming concert

I removed content about an up and coming concert - I don't think the concert is sufficiently historical, and in the worst case if all concerts were listed, this article would become too large. Suggest creating an additional topic "hyde park, concerts" or some such. mgream 14:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
