    I love this park and all the surroundings. It's a really big park and it's a nice long walk to the top. There is Alexandra Palace with it's beautiful architecture, big events inside like live music, bands, ice skating, sport games. There is a lake, playgrounds, toilets, a cafe and close there are 2 big garden centre. I love this park in every season. Always people walking around with dogs, family, friends and in summer is full of life near the pub at the top.

    Ally Pally is a wonderful place. It's history is fantastic, the theatre is amazing, the ice skating is great- used in many films- the park is lovey to walk through and the views of London from the top are spectacular. It's a great destination for a huge amount of events, from concerts, to weddings and darts to snooker. There's pitch and putt, and go ape as well as rowing, a skateboarding Park, children's playground and fantastic walks. Anyone in North London knows how great the place is and everyone should visit

    Decent park, not the best I've been to. Not really that much to do there for me personally. I don't see myself attending any events at Alexandra Palace however it's really nice inside. It's definitely worth a visit but I wouldn't go often.

    It's a great park! There are a couple of parkings but one of them was closed when we visited. You can pay for the whole day and viw both the palace and the park. There is a cafe, playground and also toilets that are free of charge. You can also rent a boat to sail in the small pond, which seemed like great fun for kids. There is also another activity called Go Ape, which is suitable for both adults and older kids. The park itself is huge with stunning views. We had a very nice walk!

    Excellent! Be ready for uphill and downhill walks. Superb in summer. Georgeous sweeping views of London from the top. Has a cafe and restaurant on site and plenty of pay-and-park spaces (used to be free!). Can visit the ice rink and, if you are around, watch the fire works in early November - beautiful! Worth watching!

    I enjoy spending time here, the views of London are amazing. Sitting on the grass, walking amongst the trees alone and with friends and family. There are also a variety of activities available from a farmers market, pitch and putt, skateboard park, a lake with pedalos, Go-Ape and much more.

    Great experience! I went for the Sunday Farmer's Market, which was small but interesting, and then stayed to have a look at the park, since I'd never been. It's beautiful and very relaxing, plenty of happy dogs, families and people reading books in the sun. From the palace at the top of the park, you can see the City with the Shard in the distance. They also seen to have a calendar of events organised, and an indoors ice rink. I'm pretty sure I'll be back!

    It's hard to do justice to Alexandra Palace in just one review. On the one hand you've got wonderful, open parkland where you can run, walk and exercise your dog in a variety of settings. But beyond this you've got the Palace itself which is home to a top concert venue, an ice skating rink, a pub and restaurant and even a newly reopened theatre. Just by itself this is a wonderful array of attractions. But on top of this you've got the sweet little boating lake, a pitch and putt course, several cafes and a rich sequence of indoor and outdoor events. Frankly this is an amazing place with so much of it being free to access. I probably come by Alexandra Palace several times a week, with and without the dog, and every time I marvel at the views over central London. This is simple one of those places that every Londoner should visit. It's quite something!

    Great view of London and beyond. The W3 from Finsbury Park will get you there. Great place to walk, drink, picnic or whatever you choose.

    First time visiting, came to see London Grammar and Eloise, it was amazing!!! Some tips though: The website just says parking, plenty of spaces but it's Β£3 when we visited (contacless or cash). The walk up from the car park is not lit, so use a phone torch. You do need the covid pass, so have it prepared. There is food as you enter the building, then further down is the hall for the gig. Hope this helps.

  • 4/5 Hypnorina 1 year ago on Google
    The park itself is huge and the view is stunning. You can see all the skyline of the London City. Lots of trees, ideal for a walk even with a dog. They is a little playground and the bus W3 going there.They are also enough parking places. But no restrooms? We visited the park not once and we didn't round restrooms, that's ridiculous.

    What a beautiful building in a lovely part of the 'Big Smoke'. Went to the ABTT Theatre Show. It was a really well organised event for Theatre Professionals. The security team was shouting and looked un organised.

    Pure heaven and a must visit for people who want to spend quality time or prefer greenery. The adventure seekers could try the tree top challenge, it's a good one but involves high physical activity. Loved this place

    Great green space which rewards any visitors with stunning views of London from high up. It’s also the birthplace of BBC broadcast television in 1936.

    Best view in North London! This place is furnished with pub, theatre, pizzeria, golf camp, skate park and a beautiful lake were you can find a lot of animals like Swan geese and ducks. A quiet place to be with whoever you want to spend a nice evening.

    The grass is returning back to green after the rain. The road up and over is currently a no through Rd, but the signage is poorly marked, we approached from Wood Green to be greeted by road closed ahead giving the impression the road was shut off. The road is only closed outside the Palace. So you able to traverse the road up to the car park. Very confusing !!!

    We went to go ape and wow what a wonderful day we had. The most challenging course will definitely keep your mind racing as to whether it can be done.

  • 3/5 Shahrzad B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice & quite place for a walk, or have any drink or snack with friends. One of the Best views of Great London from the above.

  • 5/5 Zsuzsanna T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely park with plenty of options for different activities, including the all-year open ice-rink, a playground, a skate park, the cute boating lake, an adventure park, a garden centre with a lovely cafe, a pub with a view and huge green areas for football and playing with your dog. Not to mention the Sunday market which is a gem.

  • 4/5 Lisa M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely park that I would love to visit in the summer! I was only here for a football match but there was enough room for them and all the dog walkers which was nice! There is a little place to get some refreshments and on a cold Sunday morning a hot drink is always so welcome.

    Went paddling. Had a great time. So pleasant.

  • 5/5 CM B. 2 years ago on Google
    There is a bounce and play house inside the park called Little Dinosaurs. It's brilliant there. I took my little one there over the summer and he had a marvellous time playing there. It's the only place in the park where you can buy hot or cold food/drinks. They also sell snacks. I would recommend Little Dinosaurs to any parents.

    Nice walk through the park. Pity that there wasn't anything that appeared to be happening at the Palace, but enjoyed the Grove cafΓ© with a friendly manager who was playing some lovely Italian operatic music
