    Text
    Military, brass or silver band music is a traditional bonus for those who stroll in London's parks - usually a free bonus, for this brazen Muse is difficult to limit to the confines of a few rows of paid-for chairs. But in any case an hour at your ease will cost no more than a few pence. Almost anywhere in Central London, at weekday lunch-times or on weekend afternoons, you may find yourself within reach of music cheerful in the open air, professionally accomplished, and often gratifyingly more Poet than Peasant...Hyde Park, Hyde Park Corner Sunday afternoons and evenings Underground or bus to Hyde Park Corner Kensington Gardens Round Pond.
