The Peter Pan statue in Hyde Park talks to you.

I fully expected this free thing to be super boring. What can you say about a statue? "I found it and gazed at it?"

Just you wait.

The Peter Pan statue is located in a beautiful part of Hyde Park overlooking the Long Pond and Italian fountains, and it's a really pretty statue. I like how everything kinda swoops and swishes, from the clothes to the bunnies.

But after you've admired the craftsmanship, Peter Pan will call your phone to talk to you.

Creative use of technology FOR THE WIN! It's a pre-recorded audio file, but the actor who's speaking on behalf of Peter Pan does a really good job. I was more than entertained and happy to listen to the end (about a four-minute little skit)! Very simple to use, too — I typed the short URL into my phone and then just had to push one button to get Peter to "call" my phone. (It uses data, so if you're visiting, be sure you have international data privileges or a UK SIM card with data. If not you'll be charged roaming fees!)

The "incoming call from Peter Pan" screen was a nice touch!

It's definitely a fun pit stop for any tiny human in your life — and for adults, too!
