While the park itself doesn’t appear directly in *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy*, it captures the mood of Adams’ London — serene, slightly absurd, and always a little too well-organized for comfort. Its ornamental gardens and boating lake could easily feature in a scene where Arthur Dent wonders whether Earth was ever truly important, before deciding to sit down with a sandwich and a towel. The park borders the home of the BBC, where Adams’ scripts for *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy* were first recorded, making it part of the same creative landscape.
