Hyde Park, as with most of the parks in London, has signs, and maps all over so that it's really easy to find what you are looking for. Speakers Corner happens to be really close to Marble Arch.
Yes! Love it. Although, he doesn't seem to be too popular with the crowds. I took my picture really quickly and tried not to make eye contact.
I vaguely recall a story about President Hinckley soap boxing it in Regent Park, (and when I say vaguely, I mean totally.) He could've even been wearing a hat like the one this guy has on! Still, it seems a little less glamorous when you know you could walk thirty yards and be ordering a big mac and fries from McDonalds... I'm just saying.
This guy is the obvious winner. Look at his crowd. Go him! The real question is whether his gospel was well liked or just controversial? Perhaps both?
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that the missionaries weren't there, and trust me, I looked for them.
I took this picture of the crowd around the soap boxers as I was walking into the park. You can see that there were quite a lot of people there. It's still a really popular method for die-hards.
I just thought this was a cool picture. Ha! Enjoy.
