  • OK, sure you know about London's most famous parks, but it doesn't mean they're the BEST. Victoria Park, located in East London, is a favourite of East Londoners. You can find people relaxing, cycling, eating or drinking in Victoria Park almost every day of the year and it's even been voted "Best London Park" multiple times. Karolina and I are taking you on a tour of Victoria Park, showing you the things you can experience and do there.

    Great little video that gives a nice concise overview of Vicky park. One of my favourite places in London. Lived about a mile down the canal from it for 12 years. No better place to go on a hot summer day. Moved back to Scotland and gosh do I miss it!

    Victoria Park is not my favourite, but what I do love is that there are so many cycle paths 🚲 Some of my favourite underrated London parks and green spaces include London Fields, Red Cross Garden, Woodberry Wetlands Nature Reserve, Clissold Park, Archbishop’s Park, Mile End Park & Spa Fields Park. Very good, informative video as always Love And London! 😀

      Valentine's Park was my favourite park of East London/Essex in London but that was way back in the 1970s-1980s.

    Hello Jess and your friend karolina that’s a good video you’ve done as being a born and raised Londoner I’m very grateful that we have lots of green spaces parks commons gardens in this big city of ours and it’s always an adventure to visit parks that one hasn’t heard of even though not well known to the outsider these parks are a vital source to the local community so that’s it for now so take care and cheerio

    I love Victoria Park. Lived and got married in East London, had our reception in Royal In on the Park, a beautiful restaurant/bar right on the park itself. Also ran, walked, had picnics, etc all the time. It's simply the best place. Thank you for posting.

      @@loveandlondon I'm so glad you know it. It's so lovely to have a beer in the garden looking into the park. You should also try fish and chips in 'Fish House' across the road (you probably know it). Our favourite chippy in London. Thanks again for posting, we don't live there anyone and your post brought back so many great memories. We miss it so much. ♥️

    I find it strange that anyone would think that 'Vicky Park' is relatively unknown. I think maybe this video is geared at foreign visitors to London as I have never meet a Londoner that hasn't heard of it. I've lived near the Park all my life and have always thought of it as an oasis in a sea of bricks and mortar. Also a great place to take the kids as there is an adventure playground located on the other side of the park from where the video was shot , with another Cafe nearby as well as a small play area for very young children.

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  Před 5 lety +1

      Hi Jan, I know many Londoners who aren't aware of the park, if you don't live where you live it's not as well known. And yes, you're right, this entire CZcams channel is for people VISITING London.

    Very interesting. I was there in '87.... 1987 that is .. not 1887. Although, my grandfather who came from Groombridge Road, Hackney certainly used to play in "Vicci" Park in 1880s.

    Greenwich park is great. it has the Royal Observatory, National Maritime Museum, plus the Planetarium It also has a deer park,ducks ect & a playground for the kiddies Just outside the park you have the Cutty Sark clipper, There are plenty of markets ,pubs & places to eat plus some lovely little shops. You can get a river bus from the Greenwich Pier to take you to central London,There is a foot tunnel that takes you under the river Thames to the opposite bank.Its a great day out

Could you make a video about what areas have what? for example what is the shards closest attractions. what’s near buckingham palace. This would make it easier for me to plan my itinerary accordingly without going back and fourth through the city. i’d just prefer to watch a video of you talking about it.. thanks!
