Lonely Planet review

The 32-hectare Mile End Park is a long, narrow green space wedged between Burdett and Grove Rds and the Grand Union Canal. Landscaped to great effect during the millennium year, the centrepiece, is architect Piers Gough's 'green bridge' linking the northern and southern sections of the park over busy Mile End Rd. The bridge itself is actually yellow - the 'green' refers to the trees and shrubs that have been planted along its walkway.

The park incorporates a go-kart track, a children's centre for under-10s, areas for public art, an ecology area, an indoor climbing wall and a sports stadium.
