Mile End Park
Mile End Park is unusual. It was created as a result of a plan
for London in the 1940s which envisaged that there would be several
green areas connecting different areas of London to the River
Thames.
As a result the park has been created from land brought into
park uses over 50 years - much of it formerly housing and
industrial buildings. Some of this land is separated by roads,
railways and waterways.

Mile End Art Pavilion
The Mile End Art Pavilion is a stunning gallery space with a
glass frontage overlooking a small lake available for hire by
artists. Set within Mile End Park and buried in a grass
bank the Mile End Art Pavilion is the perfect space for exhibitions
and installations. This large well lit space can be adapted
to display the work in a number of ways and is of a sufficient size
to allow for collaborative exhibitions. It is only a 5 minute
walk from Mile End Underground Station. Find out more about hiring
the Mile End Art Pavilion.
Improve the quality of Mile End Park
As a part of an on-going commitment by the council to improve
services, we are conducting on-going consultations to improve the
quality of Mile End Park, as a part of its monitoring
process.
We would be delighted to hear from all users of Mile End Park and
its facilities as to how we can do our best to ensure that Mile End
Park is used to its full potential.
