Positive experience: Mile End park is surprisingly big and it follows alongside the canal up to Victoria park. I cycle round it frequently and it's like being in the countryside without the smell of dung or the sound of tractors, even when the main road is just metres away. It's very leafy. If you're lucky, you'll see and hear the green parrots.

abdul rumman 4 years ago

Positive experience: Decent park which spans quite a lot of area. Play areas and small sights to see as you walk through the park. Spans from Ben Johnson Road E1 up to and near Victoria Park E2 so quite a bit of ground to cover. Catch a lot of locals taking a walk, taking part in sports and more. Decent place to visit on a sunny day out.

Positive experience: This is a great park stretching over Mile End Road along the canal down to Roman Road, the park especially if you have kids is fantastic. The kids playground is great the equipment is well kept and it has all sorts of amenities. If you enjoy cycling or running it's a great park to run in as well.

Fantastic experience: I wasn't sure what I might find at Mile End park, but it's actually quite a nice place. It has the oddity of crossing a busy road on an overbridge. There's good sports facilities in the park and it's just a minutes walk from Mile End tube.

Shamim Hussain 6 years ago

Positive experience: Good size pitch and helpful staff onsite. Booking should be able to be made extra advance because there's nothing ever available on Thursdays after 5pm. Parking onsite is available but should be made free for users as local parking is hard to find. Good lighting because I could see all players and the ball.

Fantastic experience: Great park along Regent"s Canal with many different activities. Sports centre, art gallery, climbing wall, etc. Much nicer than walking along the Thames: Take a stroll around regent"s canal from Mile End to Camden. Street art, quirky cafes and cool architecture.

Katherine Welsford 12 years ago

Positive experience: Its wonderful you can review parks! This beautiful little park is a fountian of solitude on any day. A little noise from the ajoining roads, but sit by the canal and its almost silent. The pavillions provide beautiful counterparts to the park and the play area is pretty awesome. overall, a beautiful place to visit.

Salman B. 13 years ago

Negative experience: Bad unpleasant gym. Staff have no control over people, untidy bathrooms and changing rooms. Gym is very very small, not a professional gym. Half of the machines don't work. Its also over crowded. Usually have to wait 5 mins to use a machine. Very inconsiderate people and staff don't care either. The only guy who seems to be doing something is Chris. All others are busy booking new members in. On the flip side, if you really want to train you shouldn't really worry about this, this is a below average cheap gym. Do not expect LA Fitness Standard. You pay peanuts , you get Monkeys.

Mr. Z B 14 years ago

Negative experience: Staff very slow and unpleasant, changing rooms and lockers not very clean as should be. As a monthly pay member do not expect to use facilities as you wish. A few times have been refused to use a pool. More than a half of the pool reserved for clubs and not a lot of room for members. Disappointed. Canceled my contract.
