Hyde Park, in the middle-left of the image, is the largest of the four royal parks, and was established by Henry VIII in 1536; it opened to the public in 1637. Buckingham Palace Garden, at the lower-right of the image, is the largest private garden in London. Today's garden was designed in 1825 under the reign of George IV. Summer garden parties see over 20,000 guests welcomed into the royal garden each summer. The image was acquired September 8, 2021.
