 ‘Her Majesty will … declare the park open to the public for ever.’ 

The park is famous for its unrestricted views of the river, for its amenities
and its biodiversity value that has won it the Green Flag Award several times.Placed at the crossroads of four Tower Hamlets wards (Shadwell, Wapping, Limehouse and Stepney), King Edward VII Memorial Park is the only riverside park between Tower Hill and the Isle of Dogs and the only green space available in this portion of the Borough.Local schools use it for their sports days, religious festivals take place there and it is overall the focal point of the lives of four vibrant communities.
