You're standing at Speakers' Corner, in the north-east corner of Hyde Park, right by Marble Arch. It may not look like much: a paved patch, some trees, traffic rushing past. But this is one of the most famous places in the world for free speech. Anyone can turn up unannounced and give a speech, about politics, religion or pretty much anything.
