Hyde Park
Stunning views at sunset in London's back garden....
"Now mainly a ruin after bombing in World War II, Holland House was built in the 1600s and was once home to Lord and Lady Holland. They were known to mix in high standing social circles and their guests included Charles Dickens and Lord Byron."
From the BBC Proms to world renowned stage shows, the Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful and historic venue.
