Victoria Park

Coming back from Brands Hatch, I needed a walk and a visit to the loo, so what better place to do this than Victoria Park in Bow.

I got a short walk, but the toilets were closed, as that had probably been vandalised.  So I had to leave.

I have many fond memories of Victoria Park.  When we lived in the Barbican, our children used to go to school near the park and we’d take them for walks afterwards.  Years later, my son lived with his wife near the park and we’d walk again and later with our granddaughter.

There used to be a lido, but that closed in 1990.

It is a park worth visiting.  Remember that it is within walking distance of the 2012 Olympic site, so it will be a lovely place to take a picnic before going to the Games.
