What's happening in Hyde Park?

Are sure it's a park?

I don't see the green grass growing. This drought is more serious than I thought.

Got quite a bit of growth here.

Will be firing up the Briggs, as tradition dictates, for the first time next weekend as it's the first weekend in March.

Will have the blades right up so as only to give it a light shave.

If you zoom in on some of the "tents" you can make out the HARD ROCK CALLING

Spot on Sir!

Bloody hell though, when did Bruce (I call myself 'the boss' although no one else does) Springsteen and Stevie Nicks, become "Hard Rock".

Did I miss a meeting?

Maybe it's an old picture but on Google, the east side looks like a building site.

A few years ago I went there to see a farm show, with hens, ferrets, cows, and various breeds of pig, including wild boars.

One huge sow in an open enclosure lumbered to her feet to amble off to the feeding trough, but slipped and toppled back into a large mudbath, sending a sheet of God knows what splashing over the fence into the crowd.

At the front of this crowd was a family of muslims, obviously fresh off the plane from the Middle East and staying in a nearby hotel in Mayfair, all in robes with kids in tow.

From their screams, I imagine they won't be visiting any more Hyde Park farm shows in a hurry

Back in 2006, I think it was I went and saw Foo Fighters, Motorhead and Queen there.

Not sure how often Google update their sat pics.
But gigs are pretty common there.

My house does not show the extension i built 5 years a go so don't be relying on google maps

Probably some pop concert - They seem to be using it more and more for things like that now, which is all wrong.

Indeed - it is exactly where I went to see Simon and Garfunkel. Mrs BP was delighted by that...

They discovered a technicality. The park has to be open to the general public but it turns out that doesn't mean all the park and all the entrances.

I'm there right now and owing to this seasonal balmy weather there is blart everywhere.

Might have to pay a visit to the bogs for a quick toll on the old bellend
