Itinerary description
You should be able to complete this walk in 5-6h, factoring in a lunch break and some rest time. This tour time does not include the visits to the London Zoo, Madame Tussauds, or the Sherlock Holmes Museum (I did not go inside). If you want to visit those destinations, plan ahead for more time.
To save time, you can skip the part of the tour beyond the bridge in Regent's Park (not much to see on the other side of the bridge) and also use public transport to get from 221B Baker Street (Sherlock Holmes Museum) to Hyde Park, as the rest of Baker Street is just a shopping street.
Difficulty: moderate, due to the length of the walk, older people not used to walking long distances might get tired. Suitable for all ages, but not for dogs or cyclists (Regent's Park, the walk's main highlight, is closed off to dogs and cyclists).

No cycling and dogs allowed in Regent's Park, for some reason. The park is very well maintained, mostly by retirees who work as volunteers.
