The Serpentine in Hyde Park on an Orange Brompton

I cycle through Hyde Park quite often and if I am early when meeting for one of the Sunday rides, I will often cycle around it at least once. I usually stop at the little bridge you can see below in the photo that affords a good view. 


The Serpentine in Hyde Park - where the ducks are the true aristocrats and the swans are practically demanding bow ties - sits inside possibly my favourite London park. This body of water isn’t just a pretty face; it’s a historical gem that has been glittering away since the 18th century.
