    A swimming area carved out of the main pond in Hyde Park. the unheated, unchlorinated Serpentine Lido is shared with with plenty of wildlife - and dedicated fans of wild swimming.

    If you fancy hiring a pedalo or rowing boat, make sure you go on a warm day as at £12/person/hr it's not cheap. Great fun and very peaceful

    8 July: Picnic beside the Serpentine. The area to the north of the Serpentine - where trees and green lawns roll down towards the lake - is one of the best spots to spend an afternoon.

    Head over to the Lido Cafe near Serpentine Bridge on the south side, find a table near the water and enjoy a bowl of soup!

    Nelson’s great naval victory was re-enacted on the Serpentine in 1814, with miniature vessels manned by three sailors each, firing blank ammunition. The Serpentine takes its name from its twistiness.

    Up until September 12, you can take the plunge in Hyde Park at the Serpentine Lido. At 100 metres, it's the capital's longest pure lake without a drop of chemical chlorine. Read more

    On a sunny afternoon, just before sunset, on a warm summers day, there is no other place I would rather be. It is small piece of nature in a large metropolis.

    Seit 1864 findet hier zu Weihnachten der "Peter Pan Cup" statt. Ein traditionelles Schwimmevent im eiskalten Wasser. Um mitmachen zu dürfen muss man aber Mitglied es "Serpentine Swimming Club" sein.
