Hyde Park has a fleet of rowing and pedal boats which operate on the famous Serpentine and the UK's first Solarshuttle, a magnificent vessel which glides silently across the lake powered only by the sun.

The Solarshuttle carries up to 40 passengers and the pedal and row boats hold up to 6 persons each.

Boating on the Serpentine is open from April until October 31. Times are from 10:00 am until sundown which is around 4:00 pm in the winter and 8:00 pm in the summer.  

Every year millions of Londoners and tourists visit Hyde Park, one of the capital's eight Royal Parks.

Hyde Park covers 350 acres and is home to a number of famous landmarks including the Serpentine Lake, Speakers'€™ Corner and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain.

The park also offers various recreational activities including open water swimming, boating, cycling, tennis and horse riding.
