Hyde Park London, It was never opened when we were around until our last night and we were walking to a restaurant about a half mile away, couldn't spoil our dinner.

Very amusing. I'd have spoiled my dinner.

It’s actually in Kensington Gardens as it’s west of the Long Water past the Italian Gardens (I have a place in a square a few hundred yards away so am “up” on the distinction…)

Apparently it was the worlds first battery-powered ice cream “truck”!

It opens quite early in the day in summer so I’ve sometimes thought of picking-up a cone to wipe-out the benefits of my morning 10k around Hyde Park / Kensington Gardens…🍦

A critical difference between Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park (although they appear contiguous) is that Kensington Gardens are surrounded by railings/gates which are closed at “dusk”.

This somewhat nebulous definition has led me on many occasions to help people lift bikes/prams (strollers) etc over the railings next to the exit one-way turnstile gates when they have been caught out - the gates are locked at the south entrances first and if you’re walking north from South Kensington etc you can enter the Gardens heading to Bayswater / Notting Hill and arrive at the north gates to find them locked….

Yes, maps, Google or paper weren't much help, The truck was right next to the Italian Garden, I think, we were never sure if it wasHyde Park or Kensington Garden. Any corrections are appreciated. Sice this entrance was about 5 blocks from our hotel, we walked in both parks a lot.
