Victoria Park

Always loved, jealously guarded and getting big improvements in the run up to the 2012 Olympics, Victoria Park was inner London’s first – and one of its biggest – public green spaces. With its imposing entrance gates and mature trees, the park has an excellent café and a lake, spectacular fountain and bird island. A great, uncrowded place to play, unwind, or have a picnic.

Hoxton Square

Where the revival of the area started all those years ago, the Square is the heart of fashionable Hoxton, and a few hundred yards from Verdigris Gardens. Home of the famous White Cube Gallery, its central green space is a popular meeting place and the site of many an impromptu happening.

Regents Canal

One of the area’s hidden secrets is its network of quiet waterways, well maintained footpaths and picturesque locks. The Regents and Hertford Union canals, and the lower Lea river, are all close by. Great for cycling, nature watching or walking in a clean, green, freshwater setting.

Olympic Park

The 2012 games are a couple of miles down the road and excitement is building. Even better, the Olympic Delivery Authority’s huge investment in the local environment, infrastructure and world class sports facilities will pay dividends to people living in the area for years to come.

A cutting edge local arts venue and studios, with poetry performance, theatre and live music as well as mainstream and arthouse film. Richmix also has a great café, if you fancy an idle moment sitting, web surfing or people watching.

All Star Bowling Lanes

Perfect for the occasional night of beers, bowling and burgers, the All Star is like travelling back in time to 1950s America. But the bowling isn’t compulsory, and at weekends there is live music, DJs and Karaoke booths, if you’re really looking to give it the 100% performance.

The Star of Bethnal Green

Patronised by a mix of locals, notably the art school and design crowd, the Star is one of the area’s great small bars and venues – along with gems like bohemian Bistrotheque, the cosy Nelson and cosmopolitan Benny’s on London’s newest übertrendy thoroughfare, Redchurch Street. All just a few minutes walk from Verdigris Gardens.

Viajante

In the grand setting of the restored grade II listed Bethnal Green old town hall is Michelin-starred Viajante, an exciting addition to the London restaurant scene headed by celebrated chef Nuno Mendes. The bar makes an excellent place to meet up for a decadent cocktail and a plate of tapas.
