Description
Open since 1845, Victoria Park spreads over 86 hectares of Tower Hamlets, part of a green corridor reaching from the Thames to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Visitors find a large lake with bridges, wooded spots that vary from busy to quiet, and wildlife that's notably tame. The park sees millions of visitors a year and supports a lively scene around the lake and pavilion cafe, with playgrounds, historic monuments, and a seasonal splash pool drawing families. Friendly animals and well-maintained grounds make it an easy choice for a good-weather day.
