A nice monument to the tree that was there. A new tree was planted in 1977, but I could not identify which tree was the new one.

A Powerful Piece of Hidden History in Hyde Park The Reformers’ Tree mosaic is more than just a striking piece of art—it’s a moving tribute to a pivotal moment in British democratic history. The original tree stood on this spot during a time of political unrest. In 1866, thousands of people gathered here as part of the Reform League, demanding the right to vote for all men. Despite the government banning the protest, the people stood their ground, and during the clash, the tree was burned, either by protesters or as a result of the chaos. Its charred remains became a symbol of resistance, a rallying point for future protests, and a lasting reminder of the fight for civil liberties and free assembly. In 2000, a beautiful black and white pebble mosaic, created by artist Harry Gray, was installed to mark the historical site. It was unveiled by Tony Benn, a politician and activist who championed social justice, continuing the spirit of the reformers. The mosaic’s design represents unity and the roots of protest, capturing the powerful legacy of the tree that once stood there. Though quiet and easy to miss, the Reformers’ Tree is a must-visit for history lovers, activists, and anyone who values democracy. It’s a reflective spot in Hyde Park that connects the peaceful beauty of today with the bold struggles of the past.

There is no tree here. Just some landscaping rocks showing where the tree used to be.
