Hyde Park's Historric Moments in Murals

 If you take the train to or from Hyde Park you enjoy an unexpected treat. The slopes down to the station are decorated with enchanting murals and informative text.

You can read about the Duke of Wellington who led the forces which won the Battle of Waterloo, commemorated in Waterloo station. Wellington's house, number one, London, is overhead and can be visited.

But if yoy only want to stand and stare, there are peaceful scenes of the river Thames and the Serpentine.

I was interested to read that the Serpentine landmark was not natural but created by a queen who was a keen gardener.

I discovered these delights on my way to the Spanish embassy to taste dry and sweet sherry.

Come back to my blog later to read about this.
