Park Lane is about half-a-mile in length running north from Hyde Park Corner to Marble Arch, along the length of the eastern flank of Hyde Park. To the east of the road is Mayfair. The road owes much of its fame due to the fact that it is the second most valuable property in the London edition of Monopoly. Indeed the road is relatively upmarket in real-life, featuring five-star hotels and showrooms for several makes of sports car.
The road forms part of the London Inner Ring Road and as such is part of the current boundary for the London congestion charge zone.
