I can’t praise this park enough, it recently had a £12m revamp in 2012 and has a boating lake, skateboard park, cafes, pubs etc. It’s a really beautiful park. Good for walks, jogs or bike rides.

Broadway Market is nice all week but Saturdays from 12pm is when all of the stalls are set up and serve good food, cakes and all sorts! It’s a really great atmosphere, often with live music.

Located in between the two sides of the park, sits the village. It has a few local shops e.g. butchers, bakery, takeaways etc and has a really nice village feel.I recommend pizza in The Lauriston.

If you are on Brick Lane and you fancy a curry, come away from Brick Lane, walk a bit down the road and this place does really good food! Better than anywhere on the lane itself in my opinion.
