“…During the 1950s, engineers in the London County Council (LCC), the Ministry of Transport, and Westminster City Council, along with assistance from the road traffic branch of the Metropolitan Police, discussed various new designs to re‐model and enlarge the intersections at Hyde Park Corner and at Marble Arch. The final agreed design—the Park Lane Improvement Scheme—would build two interconnected circulatory roads (Rayfield and Clayton 1964). Significantly, a strip of Hyde Park on its east side would be lost to the road scheme.…”

By drawing, among others, on the ideas of the Bakhtin Circle and Judith Butler, this paper explores spatial struggles over the right to free speech at Hyde Park, London, 1861-1962 From the 1860s to the early 20 th century, the state gradually constructed a "monologic" discourse about an ideal-typical "indecent" speaker who would "trespass" on Hyde Park through their "excitable speech" against a legally sanctioned right to give a "public address" in the park. This discourse gave the state some room to evict those it claimed to be transgressing "public address". However, different "heteroglossic coalitions" of regulars ensured that Hyde Park remained not only a "political assembly" to discuss political issues, but also a "social assembly" to exercise free speech on a range of social topics. Indeed, by the 1950s, these coalitions used a nearby road scheme to successfully argue it was the state that was potentially trespassing, or "encroaching", on free speech at Hyde Park.
