This is my favourite park in London. I love walking along the canal that runs alongside the park. Amazing canal barges and narrow boats of all sizes and designs. The park is well maintained and clean. It has something for everyone. There are lots of benches where you can sit, relax and take in the scenery. It has a large lake where you can go boating, playgrounds for children, green area space for picnics and smooth tarmac paths that weave through the park for walking, running or roller skating.

This is quite a large park without of areas to explore , Such a wonderful place to get away from it all. Nice park and woodlands. Lots off things for the kids to play on and to run around. Perfect for walking and being with family and friends or just being on your own.

Walking through Victoria Park,the boating lake and refreshment area then onto Pagoda Island,back round lake and then through Mile End Park close to the Canal and boats! It was perfect,breezy,warm beautiful to feel that with birds and wildlife buzzing around. The canal boats were interesting to see,like being in the country it was so quiet,beautiful,take a picnic and blanket,therapy for sure 💛

Had a lovely day here with the family. A warm sunny day in the park. Plenty of space and things to do. We did the boating first. There was 30minute and 60 minute sessions. If you get close to the water fountain you can get everyone in the boat alittle wet! After a nice homemade picnic, enjoyed the beaming sun. Played some badminton which was great fun. Went to the play area so the kids could go on the swings and slides. Everyone seems to have a great day. Topped it off with some lovely ice creams! Great day out with the family Salim Patel

Victoria Park is one of the most beautiful, majestic, notable and most visited parks in Greater London spreading over 218 acres of green space interspersed with Parklands, Boating and Angling Lakes, Birds Island, Wildlife, Varied Landscapes, Diverse Range of Trees, English Garden, Arts, Sculptures, Cafes, Playgrounds, Sports Facilities, Events Venue, Fountains, Historic Trail, World of Trees, Walking Trails and much more! The prettiest natural Victoria Park attracts everyone's attention! It is a must visit for everyone! It is the London's 3rd largest and Tower Hamlets largest park. Victoria Park is locally known as Vicky Park or the People’s Park! Victoria Park is a very welcoming place and attractive locations for everyone of all ages and abilities for anytime of the year! There is something at the park for each member of the family. Vicky Park is always full of visitors - some doing exercises, some using the park as a shortcut to the other side, some having picnics, sunbathing, reading books, playing with children, enjoying wildlife, Angling on the lake, Boating on the West Lake, observing the wildlife, discovering the Spring Blooms, having a coffee break and/or lunch/brunch, having a stroll following the Walking Trails around the park exploring the history of the park, and historic trees! Large, wider concrete footpaths very effectively connect all parts of the Park, entrances, features, playgrounds, and sports facilities! Hence, it is very much accessible for anyone with mobility restrictions, wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and pushchairs! Accessible Toilets ♿ 🚽 are available on both sides of the Park! It is most commonly seen when travelling through the roads and/or Regent's Canal flanked by the borders of the Park. Grove Road splits the park in two sections - West and East! The smaller West Park boasts Victoria Park West Lake with Water Fountain while you’ll find the Victoria Fountain, Bowling Green, Tennis Courts, and Athletic Field in the larger East Park! Because of the large wide open space Grasslands - Victoria Park hosts many large events including festivals, community events, 5K Runs, sports competitions and much more!

One of the most incredible parks not only in East London, but all the city. Easily accessible by tube. The closest station is Mile End (Central and District lines). Some of the spots and activities include the Pavilion Café, known for its great breakfast options, seeing the birds, walking by the bridges for scenic views, going to the pagoda and even renting boats. But there are 2 stellar attractions: the food market in Sundays from 10 to 4 pm and walking along Regent’s Canal. The food market is impressive and has both local and international food, including cheese, cured meat, pastries, desserts, coffee, plants, etc. Some of the food stalls that seem really popular were Malaysian, Afghan, Philippino, Japanese, Greek, etc. It’s truly a local experience and a place worth exploring if you come to London

I’m at Victoria Park writing this review and I must say this is one of the best local parks that I would visit on regular basis. I discovered this park during the lockdown when I came here for a run. An easy 5km done the whole loop of the park. Amazing scenery along the way. Although it may not beat other royal parks like Hyde Park and Regent Park but this area is good enough to offer the locals. Beautiful cafes and restaurant to hang out, lovely outdoor tennis court, cricket range and outdoor playgrounds around the park. Not to mention the park is run through along the Regents canal - with lots of gates entrance from Hackney, Mile End and Stratford greenway. Absolutely adore this amazing park. Don’t forget to come here on a Sunday for their Sunday Market. It is also amazing place to spot ducks and swans around too. A park that is best to enjoy all year round.

A really well kept park with plenty of space for everyone and wonderful picture-perfect spots! I find the atmosphere of Victoria Park energising and love running or walking for hours around the area. If you fancy a break from walking, you’ll also find plenty of spaces to sit and just enjoy the view❤️.

Great managed park in East London. Very clean and well maintained. The park provides a community space providing options for lots of different activities. Football, rugby, tennis, cricket bmx/skate park, and children's play areas for varied ages. There's also the hub, and pavilion cafe which currently do takeout but have indoor spaces for when restrictions are eased. There are also picnic benches dotted around and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the views.

Okay it's not Hampstead Heath but it's not trying to be. It is a beautifully kept park close to the center of London that provides space for exercise, a good amount of nature to look at, a brilliant Sunday market and a great crowd. Families, elderly, fitness freaks, youth, nature lovers all seem to find a little oasis here. Love having around the corner from home.

The most active park in London, its packed with people with so much wildlife, beautiful lake. Nice to see people making full use of this park with jogging and cycling and so many other fun activities, love the canal.

This is one of my favourite London parks and certainly the most under-rated. It is huge (for London). We entered it having strolled along the canals down from Camden heading east. There is a wonderful lake with pagoda and pavilion, including boats to hire. Several children’s playareas, a skate park, and lots of benches to sit in the sun or shady and lots of space to stroll around amongst the trees. Always busy even in winter with walkers, runners and dog walking. A wonderful park all year-round. We walked right across it and then headed on towards Stratford. Lots of great walks taking in this park in the area.

A very large park with a range of historical features to view, as well as a big lake with various water birds, plus lots of plants- trees and gardens. There are numerous seating facilities, paths to stroll, walk the dog or even run, as well as food and drink venues close by and a cafe by the lake. It has a good atmosphere and l would recommend to all age groups. Playground for younger children on the Hackney side.

A wonderful park that has a very different ‘feel’ on each side of it, one being a lot more safe and smart and the other just sort of obnoxious and having little decorum. Nice broad paths for cycling down or roller blading and the canal side of the park is fantastic! Some great sunsets can be witnessed here and the bottling lake is a good shout on a warm sunny day. The toilets are shut fairly early in the evening.

A lovely walk. I'm not a biggest fan of birds, but strolling through the park and checking out different species sure was fun. It is great for a run or a bike ride too. Perfect for a weekend mini picnic.

Huge park. Real nice food market and entrances by bow, regents canal, Hackney central and Hackney wick. Had a nice (affordable) boat ride for half an hour around the lake on a nice day too

A really good and clean park, has a few things for children to do. You can park on Sunday for free on any side road or just outside the park. Victoria park has two sides and they both have children playground and both side has a cafe, they have boating to do, which you do need to pay for. They have table tennis table only on one side of the park. It’s a nice place to come and do picnic with family or friends. You can walk through the park and enjoy beautiful view or cycle through.

Great park! One of London fantastic green spaces! Great for families. Shame about the deer not being there anymore! I used to love seeing them when I was younger

One of the most beautiful parks in London! Lots of routes and places to enjoy your time with friends and family. Amazing fountain in the central location, where you can see all the ducks and swans playing around. I recommend to have a walk some the canals as well and explore the colourful boats and bridges.

Have a good places for kids, but usually have young guys smoke marihuana

Not safe, drug dealers and crazy people around the park, even when there are kids around.

Druggies paradise

Fantastic park. Plenty of space fir everyone, lots of activities, sporting areas and general space for all. It never feels crowded. I love it

We’ve had so many memorable times here, from local brass bands to All Points East Neighbourhood curating the days music. Also a good place to exercise, when the weather is not the best. A fave with our littleun

Lovely park to spend time with family, take a relaxing walk, run or ride your bicycle. I find it so relaxing when I walk through it on my way to and from work

It's a park of two halves ...and the western half, if you can't make it to Richmond or Hampstead Heath, is maybe as close to Park Paradise as London gets. Eats: gardens: lakes and swans: even a Pagoda. The trees are splendid, not only in autumn; the park is big enough for a good stroll without losing its intimacy. A treat and a quiet joy. The eastern half is less impressive. There's the canal and a handsome arcade of trees: but otherwise, little more than a series of playing fields. And the trouble is that South Hackney - or at least, the bit that abuts the Park - consists of social housing for vulnerable, disabled or impoverished people, whose needs Tower Hamlets treats with apathy or seeming contempt. There's the appalling Love Pox Festival (can't you get an ointment for that?) whose racket renders sleep impossible for elderly citizens or young families or early risers - and if you're studying for exams, you may well need to move out for the duration. Flushed with success, the venal money-grubbers of the Brady Bunch Arts Centre (what they Hell do they do for the rest of the year?) are on the prowl for yet more cash-cows to make summer a misery for those without the wherewithal to move home. And if you must venture in: be advised that the security guards Tower Hamlets hire for these jamborees, have sometimes seemed little better than thugs. For visitors, and overall: Four Stars.

Really nice and large park in east London. Beautiful ponds, large fields and features a weekly market. Have spent a lot of time there especially during summer months, it’s beautiful and even allows views of the London skyline with a canal for lovely strolls to and from the park! There are a couple of restaurants dotted around the edge that are great for a Sunday meal after a walk in the park! 🥰

Really cute, clean park! I did a half marathon here and the course was nice and flat. They have nice bathrooms in the cafe. The cafe has a wide variety of items including baked goods and drinks. This seems like a great park for dogs. Many people were walking with families and dogs.

Big park with lot of green area and place for picnics. Place for kids and play area is excellent. Lot of activities to do. Parking also available and few disable bays. Nice views and can take good pictures. Overall a great park close to central and east London.

Free park! Victoria Park or “Vicky Park” as it’s known locally, is London’s oldest public park. Opened in 1845 for the benefit of the East End working class, “The People’s Park” has a long and rich history spanning over 170 years. At 86 hectares, Victoria Park is the largest park in Tower Hamlets. It receives over 9 million visitors each year who enjoy a range of community activities, events, live music, and sports.

Beautiful park even in autumn and the rain. Lots of different birds and ducks. Really cute to walk around and see. Nice and peaceful park to chill in

East London place to be. Worth visiting on Sunday, when there's a market with fresh products. Always busy, not enough toilets, but definitely worth visiting for a picnic.

Beautiful park! Grew up going to this Park as a child. So many things to do and see. If you are lucky you might even notice a grey heron and Koi fish that resides more at the end of Mile End Pavilion. There is a childrens play area and if you love nature then lovely things to see or relax and have a picnic. There is also a cafe near the lake. They also do boat hire in the summer time. They even hold fire work displays, events, music gigs, fun fairs and even small version of christmas markets. The regent canal is also very interesting. Unfortunately with pandemic its a bit hard to do social distancing but there patrol officers which makes it lot safer.

Huge and quiet park, nice to have in the area. Can easily spot many birds and beautiful in autumn. I usually go for a run there in daylight or just to chill out after a stressful day.

Large park, good for walks, with a boating pond and some interesting features

A large and spacious park with several open spaces sectioned by numerous footpaths which are lined by towering plane trees. It's a beautiful place to unwind or exercise, surely a green park for all seasons.

Lovely park with great views, friendly passer bys. Great place to take your dog walking during the weekends. My boyfriend and I usually do our work out routines at the park.

I love Victoria park

Beautiful big, green park in a very cool area. Beautiful canal and lake. I suggest to visit Hackney wick. Full of bars, clubs and restaurants.

A lovely green space, perfect for a walk, picnic or exercise! It's beautiful all year round and has great cafés and many playgrounds!

very beautifully

Pavilion coffee and food are tasty, children’s play park and the bigger one are good, lots of ducks and swan and squirrels with the odd field mouse or fox. Plenty of space to walk, run cycle or picnic.

Always a pleasure

Great Park that has alot to see.

(Translated by Google) Victoria park is a fantastic green and wooded oasis situated in Tower Hamlets. It is very vast with thick vegetation, beautiful ponds with fish and birds of all kinds. For children there is a large sand area to play with with huge slides and water games (accessible during hot weather). You can enjoy the park while the children play. (Original) Victoria park es un fantastico oasis verde y arbolado situato en Tower Hamlets. Es muy vasto con espesa vegetacion, hermosos estanques con peces y aves de todo tipo. Para los ninos hay una gran zona de arena para jugar con enormes toboganes y juegos de agua (accesibile durante el clima calido). Puedes disfrutar del parque mientras que los hijos juegan.

Beautiful place

Lovely park... Used to spend a lot of time there with friends during our teenage years. It's wonderful to visit all year round.

Always a pleasure to go back there

Very nice park in the middle of the city.

Dare I say one of the very best parks in London. Big, beautiful, full of options as to what to do. Entertaining even during lockdown. Great to go read, play sports, have a picnic, go for a run or just stroll around.

(Translated by Google) Every day (Original) Todos os dias

Beautiful. Worth visit!

Beautiful park

Great open space with features for everybody to use. Fantastic pathways along the canal. Very family friendly and designated areas for children to play. Good for cycling and all general sporting activities. Beautiful great park of London which I grew up in as child.

Big flat park with roads and paths for cycling running and walking. Large artificial lake with lovely fountain. At least two good cafes serving coffees and snacks. Great place to just wander around then mooch along the canal too see all the narrow boats. Delightful park

Always a pleasure!

(Translated by Google) A very well maintained and used park here in London. A beautiful walk ending in the canal with boats anchored gives all the charm after Victoria Park (Original) Um parque super bem cuidado e muito utilizado aqui em Londres. Uma bela caminhada finalizando no canal com os barcos ancorados dao tdo o charme ap Parque Victoria

Nice big park with plenty of space

Beautiful place

Best in London

Very busy, to be expected

Victoria Park feels much more like one of the West End Parks than say Finsbury Park or Clissold Park and is really enormous. There are attractive gates and sculptures which add a note of grandeur. We haven't tried the cafe but the dome looks very French and seems popular.

Nice place to go for a run/walk!

Nice local park next to my sisters.

This big park , very nice

Park

Super nice

Nice and wide park

Nice park

It is one of the best park in London.In terms of walking cycling and relaxing with friends.

Always a great walk through the Parks

Lovely Park

Love it

A lovely little park tucked away with plenty to do for all

Generally good for younger kids. Gets rowdy in the evenings as teenagers hangout.

Very small park for little children

This is a lovely park with alotof thing to use for children as they have. A play area for younger and older kids and is big so I recommend this park for children

Cool park

Nice park.

Good place for to take kids, has a swing, small park and a mosque nearby

Loved it. Great park for all with lots of new recent additions plus an outdoor gym...

Son enjoyed play area and it was good to see fenced area for dogs.

This place offers you an outdoor gym, which is a perfect solution during the lockdown. But I saw a bunch of youngsters having a brawl. So, make sure come here before the dark

Very spacious park

Great playgrounds. The slide is unique.

Nice park with good gym facilities.

Small park

Very good

Good park

(Translated by Google) It is a good place for boys and soccer (Original) إنها مكان جيد للعب الولاد وكره القدم

Nice local park.

Family park in Mile end where parents can enjoy a good coversation while children can play.Can use as a Joging track too. There is an allocation for Pets space.

Kids enjoy it very much and the open air gym it's loved by the whole family. I would give it 5 stars but the area is close to the street and there are no gates which makes it very dangerous/difficult if you have more than one small child e.g. twins

I been lived there 6 years lots of memories

Medium sized park

Nice park but the drug dealers and rubbish spoil it

In the heart of the EastEnd

Good workout

Been with my 5 year old and some friends. Beautiful park, will activities for all age.

Great park for children all ages. Fun and exciting play area. There is also outside exercise equipments for adults.

Small park and children play ground.

Nice clean park, kids love it

Mate, love it

Good little park has gym equipment for the fitness guys, kids got lost to climb on and play with. Also used by muslims to pray, why the mosque is been built, doesn't get in the way why they pray, they do it inntbe quite corner of the park

Nice park with a mosque, play and gym area

Good

Good nice place

Small community park

Ok

Mad place to chill

I like shandy Park has Alot of playground toys

Lovely park for the whole family to spend the day. Children play areas and open space to enjoy fresh air and the green environment.

Apparently park is in top 10 parks in UK. For me personally, it’s not the best and prettiest park. I can count more than 10 parks that are better. The park itself quite dirty with a lot of rubbish lying around and it’s not being picked up. Signs are everywhere not to leave rubbish, but people that visit don’t seem to care. There are few pretty nice looking historic landmarks there, but that is about it. A lot of people are cycling and running there, so if you want to explore and are looking for sightseeing this park is not for you.

A peaceful place to rest. I love The old English garden. If your children love sport, football, tennis and cricket then Victoria park is the right place. A playground for little children, picnic area with tables.

Nice park in the heart of East London. Victoria Park is very popular with the local community and especially families. They have a boating lake a small cafeteria for snacks and drinks. The Park also has a small Chinese Pagoda with a small picnic area which serves as a good meeting point.

This is the best park in London in my opinion. For context, I'm 30 and have lived in London my whole life. The park is beautiful, with areas to play for children, food markets on the weekend, and ample space for joggers, cyclists and roller skaters. It's a big park and attracts people from all walks of life, though the many pubs overlooking the park tend to be filled with the middle class (which is typical for that area of London). Anyway, thoroughly recommend checking it out!

Brilliant park with great walking routed around it and a great array of trees and inhabitants. Lots of info about all the different types of birds in the park. Moorhens, Canada geese etc. 2 lovely permanent cafes in the park also make it a great place for a walk and a coffee or bite to east. The pond in the middle also has a boat rental service to row around in the summer months. All points east festival also takes place here in the summer which is a fantastic festival. Lots of sport activities go on here during the weekend also. Highly recommend this lovely park.

That is amazing park. You must visit this park if your way pass the London. Lovely people walking inside, playin games and many more. Park is approximately 86 hectare area. You have really more space for playing outdoor games ☺️✌🏿. And I got many nice pictures, see below 👇

My favourite park in London, and the Royal Inn does great meals

It’s huge, beautiful and if you are a nature lover or just looking for a me time the place has a seat for you. Just put on some warm clothes as it can get really cold in the autumn and of course winter.

Versatile space. If green grass, plants and some sort of lake are what you are after. This hits the spot. Good variety of birds to keep a budding ornithologist sated. Also good for doing laps around

Our second time visiting this park as we were cycling by and thought we stop here. Victoria Park is a lovely park which has a nice and calming feel to it. There's so much space to cycle around, walk, skate or walk your dog. There's a nice big pond area to view the swans or ducks. Lots of information about the variety on them too! I absolutely love the numerous trees here. It's wonderful! The only negative I have is the public toilets as they were rather smelly and untidy. The toilet roll holder was broke and needed to be screwed in properly! No soap in the water dispenser at all! There was antiseptic gel outside but none was coming out at all! So make sure you bring your own! I would have thought seeing as this park is soo lovely, staff could make an effort to clean and maintain the public toilets especially during these covid-19 times! I enjoyed cycling along the canal leading towards Mile End but only got as far as the Isle of Dogs. You will see quite a number of people walking, cycling and joggers along the way.

One of my favourite parks. Top for walks, picnics and just sitting. I love the Sunday market they host

Have visited many times, at different times of the week, during all months of the year. Like coming here with the family to walk, visit Pavilion for lunch, go to the playgrounds. Sometimes go for long runs around the perimeter. It’s a well maintained park with a lot of excellent amenities. I’d say it’s one of London’s great parks, and that’s certainly saying something. If you’re in East London it’s a wonderful place to visit for a stroll.

Was really amazed at how large this park was and what it had to offer. There's lot's to explore, including a little rose garden, mini sunken garden, and English garden. There's a market of Sunday which has a brilliant range of foods. It's a great place for bikes or walking. The lakes are packed with wildlife and lovely views. There are a couple of cafés, loads of ice cream vans, and a limited number of toilets.

Love this park. It’s huge, lots of greenery, great place to relax or play a sport with friends.

Large park in East London with lots of historical spots. Clean and has food markets on the weekends. Lots of runners and cyclists from the early morning to park closing. Lots of space and I like how it’s close to the canal so you can always take that route too.

A fantastic park in the East End of London. Big lakes with big fish in. Glad to say no fishing allowed. Lots of wildlife around lake. Lots of people enjoying themselves.

Great park lots to do. Anyone who knows East London will tell you that this park accommodates the whole family. Perfect for workouts, dog walks, children, and those who want a perfect place to picnic 100% recommend.

Great location near to the town of London multiple access travel points. Regent’s canal across to canal club community centre. Pavilion caffè toilets play land picnic park, Victoria park market every weekend. Victoria Chinese pagoda. Every weekend normal weather regal boat hire open very accessible prices. Access and parking disabilities. Table and chairs for slides swings for children etc

A trip down memory lane, I spent a lot of time here as a kid, some things haven't changed like the lovely boating lake, the park it's big and well spread out, on our visit a large area been designated to a concert, 2 cafe bars one on east side one by the lake, couple of kids swing and slide areas, lots of areas to sit and have a picnic, we went to Bethnal Green stn (20min walk to main entrance with boating lake)Hackney wick is closer but coming from the sports end of park.

Visited to attend the All Points East Festival... I mainly went for Stormzy but the whole event did not disappoint! The park itself was huge, nicely located and easy to access I would happily travel down to London again to attend another festival or event in this park!!!

All Points East festival, once again exceeded my expectations! The event is so well organised! The staff were absolutely fantastic! Will definitely return to Victoria Park for the next APE festival!

This is a very popular and large park in East London. It's closed to traffic so you've got a nice outer part that's perfect for cycling, running and walking. There are also lots of tarmac paths within the park, which is entirely flat, so you don't get muddy. As for features of interest there are a couple of good cafes in Victoria Park with toilets. You've also got a boating lake and a children's playground. If you want to go further afield you can easily access the Olympic Park or wander along the bordering canals. Frankly there's a lot to like here and on a sunny day the park draws a lot of people. It doesn't have much in the way of views, as it lacks hills, but for all that it's quite a pretty place to visit.
