Fed by a pure underground spring, and set in the heart of London's gorgeous Royal Parks, the Serpentine Boating Lake is one of the most pleasant places to experience summer in London. With 110 pedalos and rowboats, and a fantastic swimming area there are few better places to forget the bustle and buzz of the big city and float away and relax. The Serpentine is scheduled to be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics.
