On the Grid : Mile End Arts Park
"All Londoners love a good park - a small grassy saviour rescuing us from grey high rises and dulcet tones of traffic. So if you're searching for a break from it all in the East End, the Mile End Arts Park certainly hits the spot. Named after the pavilion alongside it, the Arts Park is part of a larger 79 acre stretch running alongside Regent's Canal. It was created on former industrial land left devastated by the World War II bombings and leads up to Victoria Park on the route from Mile End Road. A great place to feed the ducks, relax by the water and even pop down with a picnic if the weather allows." - Adam Johnson
