About
The Long Water is a recreational lake in Kensington Gardens, London, England, created in 1730 at the behest of Caroline of Ansbach. The Long Water refers to the long and narrow western half of the lake. The eastern half is known as the Serpentine. Serpentine Bridge, which marks the boundary between Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, also marks the Long Water's eastern boundary.
The Long Water and the Serpentine are generally considered to be part of one lake.
