À propos de ce lieu Victoria Park

Victoria Park est un grand parc public de l'East London, à la limite entre Hackney et Tower Hamlets, référencé ici côté Grove Road. Il a depuis des années une réputation discrète de lieu de drague gay, mais il est loin d'être aussi fréquenté ou aussi connu que Hampstead Heath, et la plupart du temps ce n'est qu'un parc rempli de joggeurs, de familles et de promeneurs de chiens. Le parc accueille aussi des concerts et d'autres événements publics en été, période où la drague y est pratiquement inexistante. Si vous y allez, restez discret, tenez-vous à l'écart des espaces fréquentés par les familles et n'oubliez pas qu'il s'agit d'un espace public, même la nuit. Nous n'avons aucun témoignage direct récent : considérez donc cette fiche comme historique.

This is our regular spot, and we never get tired of visiting. We come here often to feed the birds and ducks, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the beautiful surroundings. The park always feels welcoming and peaceful, whether you're looking for a relaxing walk, a family day out, or simply somewhere to sit and enjoy nature. One of the highlights of this visit was being lucky enough to hand-feed a squirrel. It was such a lovely and memorable experience, especially as the squirrel was surprisingly friendly and confident. There is so much wildlife around the park, which makes every visit feel a little different and exciting. The children's playground is fantastic and well maintained, with plenty of equipment to keep kids entertained for hours. It's a great space for children of different ages to play, run around, and burn off some energy while parents can relax nearby. The park has a family-friendly atmosphere, and it's easy to see why it's so popular with local families. Another feature we always enjoy is the lake. The boating rides are a wonderful activity, especially on a nice day. Being out on the water gives you a completely different perspective of the park and makes for a fun and relaxing experience. The lake itself is beautiful, with ducks, geese, and other birds adding to the scenery. There is plenty of open green space throughout the park, making it ideal for picnics, games, jogging, or simply stretching out on the grass and enjoying the surroundings. The pathways are well kept and perfect for walking or cycling, and there are lots of benches where you can sit and take in the views. Overall, this is one of our favourite parks in London and somewhere we return to regularly. It offers the perfect mix of nature, wildlife, family-friendly facilities, and recreational activities. Whether you're visiting for the playground, the boating lake, the wildlife, or just a peaceful escape from the busy city, Victoria Park has something for everyone. Every visit creates new memories, and we always leave looking forward to our next trip.

The weather was great last Tuesday so being on the lake in a pedalo at Victoria Park was tremendous. So much fun! The people who run it were lovely, particularly, Reece who helped us in and out of the boat. A really great day, thank you.

Visited Victoria Park on a Bright Saturday Morning and it didnt disappoint me. Amazing vibes with people from all walls of life trying to get a bit something out of this beautiful space. The Lake Walk is a must do. I personally liked the Chinese Pagoda in the middle of the lake. The Pavilion cafe was also amazing.

We have visited Victoria Park several times to watch flypasts heading for Buckingham Palace which pass low overhead and offer one of the best views of such events in London. However, our visit this time was to find the London Bridge Stone Alcoves which were mentioned in a Secret London guide and also in a Trip Advisor review by WMIM. There are four known remaining Portland stone pedestrian alcoves from the original London Bridge that was demolished in 1831, and Victoria Park has two of them. They were gifted in 1860 to Queen Victoria by Benjamin Dixon JP who had acquired them originally. They are located close to the Cadogan Terrace entrance to the park (Opposite 69 Cadogan Terrace) and face inwards, each with seats and commemorative plaques. They are in good condition, with one of the stone engravings in better shape than the other, and are free of graffiti. There is an interesting display board close by setting out their history . Probably not worth making a special journey to see, but not to be missed if otherwise nearby as they are a unique piece of London history.

Victoria Park, also known as the People's Park, is a large urban park in the Tower Hamlets area of London. The park has a number of interesting features, including an Old English Garden, the Dogs of Alcibiades statues, the Burdett-Coutts drinking fountain, and a couple of scenic lakes. Victoria Park is a lovely place to go to for a walk and it's easy to combine a walk here with a visit to the nearby Mile End Park or the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. If you live in West London though, it might take you a long time to get here.

I was lucky enough to do a half marathon around this park and I’m glad I did. The park is lovely. Not too big or overcrowded, enough greenery for picnics and ball games, paths throughout for leisurely strolls, runs, and bike rides, and plenty of amnesties throughout the park - a couple of cafes seemed nice and the Park Tavern is a brilliant spot for a pint (or two). The Chinese Pagoda is the cherry on top for this historic and classy Hackney park

The park is full of garbage. Even the pond is full of garbage, of all kinds and shapes, in fact there was a duck with garbage caught in its neck We warned those of duty but it was really VERY dirty, a shame and a danger to the animals that inhabit the park! DO NOT THROW GARBAGE AROUND!!!

Lovely park in east London! Definitely off the beaten path for tourists. I went for a long stroll with a friend following a calorie-heavy pub roast. It was beautiful - the park has a variety of different attractions, from gorgeous English gardens to water to sporting fields, etc. I quite enjoyed the varying landscapes as we walked in the crisp autumn weather. It was also a great scene - a diverse group of people enjoying the park on a Sunday; it felt like real Londoners vs. lots of tourists. The coffee shop was also excellent, with pleasant service. A perfect place to burn off the Sunday roast calories! Worth a visit.

It's a pretty basic pagoda, so you're not going to spend a lot of time there. Nice enough though. Worth a two minute detour if you're in the park.

I went down to Victoria Park for the All Points East festival. This festival was extremely disorganised, as there was little to no direction or guidance in terms of where to go to enter the festival. When I actually found a security guard and asked him where I should go, he said that he doesn't know ! This is sheer incompetence the fact that the security guards, who have been trained and are actively working at the event, don't know where the entrances are ! Absolutely shocking form. These people are stealing a living and not doing their jobs properly. I don't know where they get these people from sometimes. The customer service team was much better though, because they actually tried to help and even printed off the tickets for me that allowed me to get into the festival! Much, much better ! Once in the festival, It was amazing to see Nas has still got it and performed a medley of his best songs and was on time. This is the third time I've seen Nasty Nas, and he seems to be getting better at performing every time. I'm so proud of the legend 🤧 , it almost makes me tear up to see how much a musician actually cares about their fans. Andre 3000 was an interesting experience to say the least as he summoned his ancestors to provide a spiritual vibe to the festival. Again, a Hip Hop legend just doing legendary things. Soon to be UK rap legend Loyle Carner took to the stage, and I was blown away by his sheer articulate and amazing performance. Him bringing on John Agard to perform Half Caste was significant, as I saw John Agard earlier on in the year who performed at Poetry Live in Birmingham ! Powerful stuff. He also brought on Tom Misch and performed a lot of great songs with powerful messaging. I'm so glad I saw Loyle Carner and he made complete sense as the headliner. Keep shining young man and keep doing great things Loyle. Overall, a good and fun experience and the food was good. Depending on the line up next year, we shall see if I make another appearance ! The park was beautiful too 😍.
