Hyde Park Boating on the Serpentine
Rowing boats and pedalos for hire on the Serpentine lake in the middle of Hyde Park, with a winter service on Wednesdays to Sundays. Under-3s go free and there are accessible boats with a hoist. A good way to break up a walk between the Diana Memorial Playground and the museums of South Kensington.
