Reformer's Tree

The Reformer's Tree is located within Hyde Park, not Paddington, where it stands as a marker for a pivotal moment in the history of British democracy. You will find a circular black and white mosaic embedded in the ground at the intersection of several footpaths, which commemorates a large tree that once defined this space. During the political unrest of eighteen sixty-six, this tree became the focal point for the Reform League, a movement dedicated to securing voting rights for all adult men.
