PIN Speakers Corner

Unfettered open-air public speaking

As long as the police consider the speeches lawful and not likely to incite a riot, any speakers may talk on any subject, although this right is not restricted to Speakers` Corner only. The speaking area of Hyde Park as defined in legislation extends far beyond Speakers Corner but it is here where most people congregate. It a very famous spot where people have gathered to speak and listen for many years. You can just walk up stand on a box and start to articulate your views to all and sundry. However, the more passive participant may just be happy to listen to the variety of entertaining viewpoints on display.

History

Close to this spot, about 250 years ago, people were still being executed at the infamous Tyburn Gallows. The gallows were installed in 1196 and by the time they were dismantled in 1783 more than 50, 000 people had been executed here.

Opening Hours

Monday - Sunday : 05:00 - 00:00

Triptide Thoughts

Very interesting place full of history, you can walk around the park and listen to the speakers. It is a great example of British free speech where you can say what you want to who you want within the confines of the law.

How to get there

The best way to get there, is by going to the Marble Arch tube Station and from there it's 3 minutes walk.
