For over 150 years, Speaker's Corner has been one of London's unique attractions. On any given Sunday morning, anyone who has an opinion to air—or who simply wants to listen—will gather at the point where Oxford Street and Hyde Park meet, in the shadows of Marble Arch, and carry on an oral tradition that is becoming somewhat lost to a modern culture of electronic mail and chat rooms. Y.P.R. recognizes the need for commentary
regarding society, life in the new global economy, chicken wings, ball bearings, or anything else that may strike one's fancy. So put on your Sunday best, clear your throat, step up onto the soapbox and speak up!
