    One of my favourite parks in London. I often come here on my lunch break and walk alongside Regent's Canal. Amazing canal barges and narrow boats of all sizes and designs. Park has a combination of open spaces, waterways, ponds, swans and wooded areas with lots of paths linking them together.

    Lovely areas to walk or just relax within the park or by the canal. In some spaces you can almost forget you are still in London.

    It's a wonderful place that is a habitat for different species of fishes and birds. But it's in a terrible state! Trash is everywhere. I saw a bird getting trash from underneath the water and trying to eat it. It's sad that such a wonderful place is in such a terrible state. I spoke to several people representing Canal & River Trust and they said that situation worsens with every year. They don't get enough support from the government, so it's up to people to save this place! Please, if you have trash, don't throw it on the floor or in overfilled bin, keep it until you find a bin that is empty. Today I travelled several stops in London until I found available trash bin. It might be an inconvenience, but it's not hard. It's our city, with wonderful nature. We need to keep it clean and be responsible for it, for our future. Thank you.

    My go-to place at anytime as it is just 100m away from my stay. It is very long and the lake in between is very beautiful. Lot of people do camp in summer and it's a peaceful park to spend time. You can even see a foot ball and other grounds!

    This park is enormous and beautiful. The walking trail is nice. but a lot of rubbish dumped by people makes it look less important. I wish some people keep it clean. The fountain area is a mess so much litter I felt sad. Other than that is good green space.

    A nice park in the heart of the city. Park stretches from Mile End stadium in the south to Victoria Park in the north via the Green Bridge (which is actually yellow) linking the north and south side over the A11. The Regent's canal runs from north to south along the park linking Victoria Park and Mile End park. Park has a combination of open spaces, waterways, ponds and wooded areas with lots of paths linking them together. Cycle paths also run along the park. Park has: - Football stadium and smaller pitches that can be booked through the mile end leisure centre. - Mile End leisure centre with gym, swimming pool and football pitches. Pay and display parking available accessible from Burdett Road, E3. - BMX track. - Skate park. - Climbing frame and play area for kids. - Lots of paths for walks in the park and along the canal. - Shops and cafes and fast food outlets along mile end road. Accessible on foot if you are local or by bus, 25, 205, D6, D7 and train from Mile End station a 1 min walk away.

    The mile end park is long and runs along side the Regent's canal. It is very pleasant and has distinct "areas" including a Sports park, an Ecology park, Arts park and a Terrace garden. A great place on a nice sunny day unfortunately my photos do not do it justice. The Eco Park at the Roman Road end of the park is wonderful. Ponds alive with dragonflies and damselflies. The park is packed with moths, butterflies, woodpeckers and more bugs than you could shake a stick at.

    I recently visited Mile End Park and was blown away by the range of activities and facilities on offer. The Green Bridge is a highlight, offering stunning views of the canal and surrounding area. The Art Pavilion is a great addition to the park, with its contemporary art exhibitions and outdoor terrace. The sports facilities are top-notch, with something for everyone, from football and cricket pitches to a BMX track and climbing wall. The playgrounds and skate park are perfect for families and young people. Overall, Mile End Park is a fantastic destination for a day out, offering something for everyone in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended!

    Well done to Mile End Park for the beautiful green space and the amazing amount of wildlife it attracts. It is an oasis in the middle of East London. Such a lovely place to go for a walk on a sunny day.

  • 4/5 Hackney F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very interesting place which is often overlooked. The foot path along the canal can be painful in busy time but the paths for cyclists and pedestrians in parallel are very pleasant

  • 5/5 Monu J. 2 years ago on Google

    Very good. The park includes many playground accessories and a leisure centre, as well as a sports track and various special sport markings and features. Also plenty of open space and next to the Regent's Canal. Handy transport and easy access.

  • 4/5 Shiva A. 4 years ago on Google
    Its a nice park, peaceful and good for a run. There is a hockey and football ground in there as well, they are the more happening parts of the park. The park could do with a bit more maintenance I must say. Some people threw a few plastic and beer bottles around which is a shame. I hope they keep it up.

  • 5/5 Ivi G. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely one of my favourite parks around London, I come here often to watch the sunset.

  • 5/5 Alex D. 10 months ago on Google
    From the kids playground, athletic track and leisure centre at the southern end, there is football and hockey pitches, tennis courts, a dog training area. A little further up is a green where the carnival comes to town. Then a big hill where keen runners like to do sprints and you can catch a great view of Canary Wharf. After that there is a nature pond with swans and sometimes terrapins, then a climbing centre, an old school east end boozer, then an arts centre, then another green with outdoor gym. I've probably missed a few things. In short if you are tired of Mile End Park, you are tired of life.

    Great park for the Community and the public at large.

  • 4/5 Judy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delightful walk from the Regents Canal into Mile End Park over the green bridge to the northern part and on to the Art Pavilion where there was a thought provoking exhibition 'Trellis', a collaboration between researchers from UCL, artists and 'ordinary' people from the community.

  • 4/5 Tanya L. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice to have green space. Long narrow park which has a raised walkway so you get splendid views of Canary Wharf. You can walk besides Regents Canal. Continue on to Limehouse Basin after Mile End Park. Worth walking through if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Gloria Leung (. 10 months ago on Google
    This park is great as there are lots of plants and trees to look at. Dogs are allowed. It is much quieter than the hustling & bustling Victoria Park, even on a Sunday. A great place to chill.

  • 5/5 Charlotte 1 year ago on Google
    I visited the eco and art pavilions for vintage fairs. The eco oavilion had toilets. The ponds and canal further back were apeaceful addition to a busy part of East London

  • 5/5 Cain H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really lovely park that’s an odd long shape but has the canal running along side and a great pond. Go get some refreshments next door and come sit on the steps, you won’t be disappointed

    Nice park along the river with the boats. Very nice to spend your afternoon with your partner or with your kids. I spent my birthday day there during the isolation. Beautiful memories to remember. Best part is from Mile end up to Victoria Park.

    If you like canals and dogs you’ll like Mile End park. The route along the canal runs up to Victoria Park which is a great little walk.

    For jogging is good, a little muddy i few spots but ok to run. Ecology centre (mile end park) is doing the walk in lateral flow covid test, you can just do one when you go past it. You get your results in 30mins via text or email.

    Beautiful walk around the park and followed the canal around to Limehouse bowl. Where the canal meets the River Thames. So amazing to see the final lock to the Thames. Beautiful views and the air feeling so much cooler and dare I say...fresher.😄 Amazing canal barges and narrow boats of all sizes and designs. The walk along the canal has quite low bridge walk ways where you might have to bend slightly. Very Dickensian! Best to get an early start so as to avoid the mass runners and cyclists with 'No Bike Bells' and No etiquette!

  • 5/5 Stephen H. 3 years ago on Google
    Large green space. With the canal to the rear and mile end road in front. It also has a couple skate Parkes one inside and one just past it towards Limehouse. And a kids play area and climbing frame. Only issue is last time I was there for the day could not find a public bathroom.
