Speakers' Corner

A Speakers' Corner is an area where free speech, open-air public speaking, debate, and discussion are allowed. The original and best known is in the north-east corner of Hyde Park in Westminster, England, near Marble Arch. Historically, there were a number of other areas designated as Speakers' Corners in other parks in London, such as Lincoln's Inn Fields, Finsbury Park, Clapham Common, Kennington Park, and Victoria Park. Speakers' Corners have been established elsewhere in the United Kingdom and in other countries.
