Summer is arriving in London so it's time to grab your flip-flops, put on your sunscreen and head to the park with a BBQ under one arm and a beach ball under the other. There are fantastic parks, gardens and green spaces dotted all across east London that are within easy reach of homes from Notting Hill Sales.
Victoria Park
This is London's oldest public park and is visited by millions of people every year. Luckily it's more than big enough to accommodate all the sun worshippers that pass through its gates.
There are plenty of things to see and do if you head h for a stroll around the park. The three lakes provide wonderful bankside walks and once you're done there you can head to the war Old English garden or the Chinese pagoda.
Victoria Park hosts a series of festivals and sporting events right throughout the summer so there's sure to be something for everyone
