Speaker's
Corner at Hyde Park
Every Sunday morning,
people flock here from far and wide to "experience" Speakers
Corner at Hyde Park's Marble Arch. Some people participate in the Open Forum anyone
who has something to say, on any subject they please, (usually
Politics, Tourists, or Religion) can stand on their soap box and
"entertain" the audience others just come
to listen and watch. More than often, the discussions get quite
heated. It's worth a visit...at least once.
