海德公园是众多中国游客向往的伦敦旅游景点。这里不但有著名的自由言论区，也是第一届世博会的举办地。不过，对于广大伦敦市民而言，海德公园主要是一个休闲场所和重要的步行交通通道。大多数游客来这里会发现，主要能做的事情就是喂喂鸟。但其实海德公园也有画廊可以参观呢。
游客在海德公园最常见的娱乐活动之一就是喂鸟。
Located near the Queen Elizabeth Gate at Hyde Park Corner, the statue of Achilles was the first statue installed in Hyde Park and was commissioned by a patriotic, upper class society, known as Ladies of England.
The statue was made by Sir Richard Westmacott using 33 tonnes of bronze from cannons captured in Wellington’s campaigns in France. The body of the statue is modelled on a Roman figure on Monte Cavallo in Italy. The head is based on the Duke himself.
The statue was originally completely nude and caused outrage so a small fig leaf had to be added soon after it was installed.
Speakers’ Corner is located on the north-east edge of Hyde Park, nearest Marble Arch and Oxford Street.
Historic figures such as Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and George Orwell were known to often use the area to demonstrate free speech.
In 1872, an act of parliament set aside this part of Hyde Park for public speaking. Even today, on a Sunday morning, it’s not unusual to find crowds gathering at Speakers’ Corner to listen to enthusiasts expounding their views. Anyone can turn up unannounced to speak on any subject, as long as the police consider their speeches lawful.
任何人都可以在海德公园的言论角发言（只要警察认为内容合法），马克思、列宁都曾积极在此活动。现在，每到周日，依然可以看到来此发言的人。不过有个人好像在念书，没人理。有个人自称无神论者，到处跟其他人唱反调，发表搞怪言论，像个小丑。有个穆斯林老人宣扬伊斯兰教，遭到围观人群反驳。有个来自德克萨斯的美国人宣扬基督，同样有个观众喜欢和他唱反调。总之，就是一个看热闹的场所，并没有什么有意义的演说。
