Possibly the best park in London. Great for people watching. Hipsters on bikes, fitsters in Nike top-to-toe, in-line skaters like it's Venice Beach, and coffee from Pavilion.

Fantastic place to bring the family. Two playgrounds, two cafes, duck pond & boating pond. Rent boats from £10/30mins (West lake). Great way to spend a day. 10-15mins walk from Mile End tube station.

One of the greatest parks in London. Go for breakfast at the pavilion cafe and after you had enough of the park you can walk along th canal towards hackney.

Go for a run in this spacious park! Some drinking water dispensers can be found along the outer route. For an additional outdoors workout find a bunch of pull up and parallel bars on the eastern side.

At the east end of the park by Cadagoen Terrace there are some pedestrian stone alcoves from the parapets of the old London Bridge; the one with all the buildings on. Very chilled place to sit.

The 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.

Vicky Park is wonderful for youngsters: the V&A Playground is equipped with swings etc, and the fantastically designed Pools Playground encourages creative play. Read more

Such a nice park with two (equally) great places for brunch, lunch and coffee. A really great place for a walk on the weekend - especially when you consider that you can also walk along the canal too!

Great playgrounds, good atmosphere, possibly the best cafe in any London park.

Love a late afternoon stroll through the beautiful Victoria Park (then a stop off at one of the pubs near the parks edge for ciders and a roast 👌🏻🍻🍽)
Matheus LundApril 22, 2022
My absolute favourite park! Easy to get to and great cafés within walking distance. I could easily spend weeks doing CTFs here.

A beautiful place for picnic on sunny days! Amazing park!
Catherine ReynoldsAugust 17, 2014
A great park in east London. Good for picnics. Has playground with big climbing frames for kids (and adult kids). Good for "free idea to entertaining in London"
Pieter de MeerJune 26, 2015
The lakeside pavilion in the West Park has amazing food, my favourite is the advocado, honey with cinnamon

Nice cycle circuit with gentle incline and straights to power through. Hazards: Kids throwing stuff, blind turn when anticlockwise, joggers with earphones stepping onto path. Best on early mornings
CaterinaJuly 30, 2016
Perfect place to hang out with friends, having sunbathing and chill.
Martin TiedemannJuly 15, 2012
1 September: Sit in an alcove of old London Bridge. Two of the 1760 alcoves from London Bridge were relocated to the eastern fringes of the park in 1860, where they now act as simple park seats.

Worth to pass by by if you are around, lot’s of soccer team are doing their training sessions there which is funny to see

Gorgeous! Take a walk around the whole perimeter to get a taste of different Hackney life, then head for drinks in Victoria park village when the sun goes in
Fatima Al-HalwachiApril 5, 2018
Plenty to see & do. Two playgrounds, a paddling pool, a boating lake, skating grounds, cafe’s & splendid green spaces

One of the best spot in East London (Even Greater London) for running. Also as good for a sunbath or just read a book. Peaceful.
