Who established Hyde Park in London?

Hyde Park has a long history. 1066 used to be the great manor of Westminster Abbey. In the first half of the 6th century, Henry VIII used it as a hunting ground. At the end of the 8 th century, it was connected with the urban area and became a park. Since the 9th century, the urban area of London has expanded, and Hyde Park in the western suburbs of London has gradually become a park.

In the south of Hyde Park, there is a monument built by 1876 for Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. Opposite the monument is the Royal Albert Hall. The oval hall is covered with a glass dome, which is very spectacular. The first London International Expo in 2008 was held here +085 1. Now every summer, a "concert without seats" will be held here.

The marble palace gate in the northeast corner of the park was originally a stone arch in front of Buckingham Palace. Due to the narrow doorway, it was demolished to Hyde Park 185 1 during the expansion of Buckingham Palace, adding a scene to Hyde Park.

Near this beautifully carved and beautifully shaped stone arch is the famous "Speech Corner" in Hyde Park, also known as "Freedom Forum". Since19th century, people have stood on a wooden box full of soap to give speeches every Sunday afternoon, so it is called "democracy on the soap box". Now most of the speakers are standing on their own ladders. Make a generous speech. The content of the speech can be anything except attacking the British royal family and personal attacks on anyone. Since the end of 19, Hyde Park has become a place where British workers gather and demonstrate. Whenever there is a large-scale demonstration, participants from all over the country rush to Hyde Park and gather on the main streets of the city to March.

The most lively time in Hyde Park every year is the salute ceremony held on the king's birthday. At that time, Hyde Park was colorful, and the audience gathered from all directions like a flood. At 1 1 in the morning, the royal artillery cavalry came to the parade ground from the marble arch. After the salute was released, the gunners loaded the cannon into the carriage and flew to the camp in north London.
