The old trees of Hyde Park
Hyde Park is one of London’s oldest and arguably Britain’s most famous park.
It has a long and varied history that has seen continual change and evolution in its landscape and use.
From the site of a monastery to royal hunting ground and from private royal grounds to one of the first public parks for the upper classes; some of the most significant moments in British cultural and societal history have involved Hyde Park. Through the centuries of change, the trees have evolved with the landscape and are a key part of its history.
