Lots to do here - walk, cycle, hire a boat!! This is where East London descends on sunny days. Really feel like a local on a hot day! Theres a great spot to eat at The Pavilion, which overlooks the boating lake.

Its the nearest park and only 2 minutes walk. It has a secret wooded walk and it also backs on to Hackney City Farm. Less touristy!
