Springfield Park

This lush park is in a slightly off-the-beaten-track part of Upper Clapton, not too far from its more famous siblings, Clissold park and Victoria Park. From the park, you can take in the sweeping views across Walthamstow Marshes and enjoy a scenic wander or cycle along the Lea River towpath down to Here East in Hackney Wick, where you can enjoy a drink or bite to eat situated along the river. There are also a few tennis courts for those looking to hone their racket-swinging skills.
