8am-2pm

The market is open from 8am to 2pm and there are plenty of attractive cafes, pubs and authentic sea-food stalls where you can make a pit-stop. If getting there by Tube, Old Street is the nearest station, turn left on exit, walk along Old Street into Hackney Road and after 200 metres turn right into Columbia Road. You'll smell it before you see it.

10am-5pm

Every Sunday Bayswater Road in London W2 is transformed into the world's liveliest open-air art show. Sidewalk-art at its best. This world famous show on the railings of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park is licensed by Westminster City Council. The Princess Diana Memorial Garden, the Peter Pan statue and the world's favorite Oxford Street shopping centre are all nearby.

Over 250 artists and craftsmen display their own original works - meet the artists and choose from thousands of different exhibits. There are oil paintings, acrylics, watercolors, drawings, pastels, sculptures in wood and metal, enamels, collages, in fact pictures in every medium, size, and subject from contemporary abstracts and traditional landscapes to the tiniest miniature flower paintings.

All exhibits are for sale at studio prices and what you see is what you get - you take your purchase away with you. We are experienced in catering for overseas visitors and can advise on packing and shipping. Paintings can be safely rolled and packed in tubes for taking home as hand luggage, and most artists are happy to sell pictures without the frame if you wish.

Some artists are members of Royal Art Societies, others have exhibited at he Royal Academy, many are established names that are known worldwide, some are unknowns who may be the Van Gogh of tomorrow.

Art and craft work on display every Sunday It's a lively exhibition and the artists are happy to discuss anything, from their work to the latest hot news items. There are many pubs and restaurants nearby, including the historic Swan Pub, The Pavement Cafe, McDonalds etc.

The show has been established nearly 50 years and is the largest regular open air show in the world. We're open in all weathers from 10am to 6pm every Sunday throughout the year - even in winter we're here until it gets dark.

12am

For over 150 years, Speaker's Corner has been one of London's most unique and eccentric attractions. On any given Sunday morning, anyone who has an opinion to air and anyone who will listen will gather at the point where Oxford Street and Hyde Park meet. A visit to Speaker's Corner will offer you a glimpse of London's real past, where Londoners engage in earnest, open conversations that can quickly become loud and contentious debates. There's no parliamentary procedure here, it's freewheeling verbal contact and if you have a mind to, you're free to take part. It is as open a forum as you are likely to see anywhere in the world, a classless forum where one can really see grassroots democracy at work.

2pm

We start from the Hyde Park Corner end of Serpentine Road.

The Stroll is especially suitable for people who have not been on a street skate before. You need to be able to turn and stop confidently, even on a slight slope, but we keep the speed nice and slow. We�ll skate about eight miles and we take two hours to do it (with a break in the middle), getting back to Serpentine Road by 4.00pm.
