The ‘Hyde Park Learning Centre’ is quite a long walk. If it is not easily accessible for you, we can arrange buggy transport, collecting you from a convenient place on the edge of the Park.
The entrance to the centre is on the Bayswater Road side. Nearest parking is in The Triangle Car Park on West Carriage Drive, just north of the Serpentine Bridge. The car park and tube stations are about a 10 minute walk away.
