Exploring London from Hyde Park

Mornington Hotel Hyde Park sits directly opposite Hyde Park — 350 acres of parkland with the Serpentine lake, Diana Memorial Fountain, Diana Memorial Playground, and Kensington Gardens all on your doorstep. Kensington Palace is a 15-minute walk through the park, and the Royal Albert Hall is just beyond it.

For museums, South Kensington is two stops on the Central line from Lancaster Gate (around 8 minutes). The Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Victoria & Albert Museum are all free to enter and within a 5-minute walk of South Kensington station.

Oxford Street — Europe's busiest shopping destination — is a 10-minute walk or a single tube stop from the hotel. Regent Street, Carnaby Street, and the flagship stores of the West End are a further 5 minutes from there. For something more local, Notting Hill and Portobello Road Market are a 15-minute walk from the hotel — best visited on a Saturday when the antiques market is in full swing.

Buckingham Palace and St James's Park are a 20-minute walk through Hyde Park, and Westminster — the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey — is 12 minutes by tube on the Central line. Lancaster Gate Underground Station is a 2-minute walk from the hotel, giving easy access to the whole of central London.
