Just over the road form Marble Arch (if you don't get flattened by a speeding taxi,) on Sundays Hyde Park is crowded at Speakers Corner. A tradition in The Park since 1855, the famous 'tub-thumping' where public orators on rostrums and soapboxes air their views to a group of listeners. Heckling is a favorite sport, but as most of the speakers aren't really very interesting and the others are old, drunk and rather rude you probably won't bother to heckle for long. (However this makes it one of the liveliest and funniest places to visit in London.)

Underground: Piccadilly Line

Bus Routes: 2, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16, 22, 36, 73, 74, 82, 94, 137

 

Connections for Bayswater and Westbourne: Tube and bus connections in the Bayswater Area to the rest of London are excellent. With buses a good number to remember is 15, this will take you round the major tourist attractions at a much cheaper price than an official sight seeing tour! Paddington Station is virtually on the doorstep with a direct rail link, 'The Heathrow Express' arriving every 15 minutes from the airport.
