Hyde Park Estate: Churches such as Church of St John the Evangelist rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does. Historic houses near Hyde Park Estate include Handel Hendrix House (1 mile east) and Apsley House (1 mile south-east). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. In Hyde Park Estate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
