Victoria Park, Public park in East London, England
Victoria Park spans 86 hectares of green space with two lakes, sports facilities, historical monuments, and extensive walking paths through landscaped gardens.
The park opened in 1845 following a petition to Queen Victoria, becoming London's first public park designed by architect Sir James Pennethorne for East End workers.
The park features notable landmarks including the Dogs of Alcibiades statues, Burdett-Coutts Fountain, and two stone alcoves from the original London Bridge.
The park opens daily at 7 AM until dusk, offering tennis courts, bowling greens, cricket pitches, and two cafes serving refreshments throughout the day.
During World War II, the park transformed into an anti-aircraft site with gun emplacements to defend London against German bombing raids.
