Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Hackney, London

Ashley G. • August 23, 2023The best park in London. No other park in the city is as varied as Victoria Park. It’s perfect for a picnic and for exercise. There are also two great cafes serving excellent coffee.

Alexia K. • August 29, 2017One of the best parks to go with your friends relax and spend the whole day there. Not big nor small it gives you a good space intimacy.

Andrea P. • September 2, 2013This is a best place to relax, to enjoy the time with friends, or reading a book. It´s so lovely. Muy chulo este espacio en medio a Dalston, un retiro de la cuidad entre medio a mucho verde.

Isa S. • September 5, 2017One forgets how incredibly beautiful East London is until you climb to this rooftop. Chill vibes, Rose and pizzas for a perfect Friday evening.
