ring peace and quiet to anyone exhausted by the rush of the city. First open to the public during the reign of \b \cf4 \ATXht13131000 James I\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , the Park now covers 630 acres where people can ride, jog, stroll or lie around at leisure.
ItÆs a good place to take a sandwich and a book for a quiet read at lunchtime. But given its size and location, it has also proved to be an ideal venue for pop concerts. Up at the north-east end, near Marble Arch, is SpeakersÆ Corner, where anyone can
get up and have his or her say. ThereÆs no guaranteed audience, of course.
