Lovely big park. Walk to the Pavillion by the boating lake for coffee or drop in for lunch at the one of the 3 pubs located around the Park.
Victoria Park is one of London’s most important historic parks and its oldest public park, visited by millions of Londoners for nearly 170 years as a place of healthy recreation, sports, play and relaxation.
Victoria Park is wonderful for youngsters, too: the V&A Playground is equipped with swings and other bits and bobs to play on, and the fantastically designed Pools Playground encourages creative play.
