Found at 1215pm on our walk through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Had to persuade a muggle to move on by crowding him a bit and eventually the moment was ours.
The park and gardens are overwhlemigly large and on a beautiful day there were plenty of people and dogs about.

Had to be quick on this one.. Three forgeigners on the bench, so one of us asked for directions to the Science Park whilst the other stealthily removed the cache and then asked another question to return it.. Worked out really well.

Found by Mary & David from Australia at 1720 - our ninth for the day after visiting the Queens Gallery and State Rooms in the morning. Delayed getting here by a thwarted attempt to grab #6 - a family occupying the target area looked as though they were settling in for the night! This was a great spot to enjoy another of our favourite memorials. Think we just missed another cacher leaving the spot who appeared from a distance to be replacing the cache where we subsequently found it. Our thanks to perthos and Family-Wood.

Working on the opening of the Princess Diana Fountain today so thought this would be a good opportunity to do the Kensington Garden's Series

This took 3 attempts. Muggles were all over this one.
Eventually we got bored. I did some distracting handstands, while Daoloth did the cacheing.

Another quick find during the circuit around KG and Hyde Park.

Cheers!

8:13 am - After attempting #6 first, I headed across to #5, fully expecting to have the same problem - not knowing exactly what I was looking for (it takes time for one to accustom oneself to the local caching "accent"). As others have noted, there is a certain monument nearby, which can be distracting. There's a well-worn path between # 5 and #6; Which came first in this park, the path or the caches?
