Village Life π³
Sightseeing
I recommend exploring the whole park. Walk past the Church and through Well Street Common to The Peoples Park Tavern and through the Queens Gate. I'd start heading east towards Hackney Wick going anticlockwise round so you don't miss the London Bridge Stone Alcoves.
If you want to learn more about the incredible history of Victoria Park there's some great books in the welcome rack.
