Hyde Park is an affluent inner-southern suburb of Adelaide in the City of Unley.
It features King William Road, a popular shopping and dining destination in Adelaide. Considered an upper class suburb, it is home to some of Adelaide's most oldest, expensive and luxurious properties.[3] Millswood railway station and the Belair railway line are close to Hyde Park. Until the 1950s a tram line ran to Hyde Park.[4]
Politically, the suburb is safe for the Liberal Party of Australia; at the 2010 election, it attracted 62.33% of the primary vote.[5]
Hyde Park "did not derive its name, as many suppose, from the famous Hyde Park, of London, but from a gentleman named John Hyde, who came to [Australia] in 1839"[6]
