| | Walks and Open Spaces in East London |
 | | East London has a surprising number of open spaces, over a hundred within the four Eastside boroughs, the most well-known being Greenwich Park, England's oldest enclosed royal park with spectacular views of London, Thames Barrier Park, Lee Valley Park, East Ham Nature Reserve, Beckenham Place Park, Sydenham Park, Royal Arsenal Gardens and Mile End Park. |
 | | This last is a themed park including areas for art, ecology and adventure, a 'Garden of the Senses' and a bridge planted with trees over the Mile End Road. |
 | | Canada Square Park's layout is a bold abstract pattern designed to look like a contemporary painting; Westferry Circus has been modelled on a typical London square; Cabot Square features a spectacular fountain at the centre of an elevated stone-paved plaza, which is line with formally pruned lime trees. |
