Did you know
Speakers' Corner, in the park's northeast corner, has hosted public open-air speeches since the 1870s and remains protected under law as a place where anyone can speak on almost any subject without a permit.
Local tip
Rent a rowing or pedal boat on the Serpentine on a weekday morning to avoid the queue, and check for free open-air events at the Speakers' Corner end on a Sunday, when the tradition of public speaking is still active.
