Expert Tip.

Since the 1870s, Speakers' Corner, in the north-east corner of Hyde Park, has been a London institution. Every Saturday and Sunday, those with a grievance or a cause climb onto their soapboxes to rally public support. Karl Marx, George Orwell, and William Morris all exercised their right to free speech here. On Sundays, the railings along Bayswater Road are transformed into an open-air art gallery.
