Mile End Park

It is a linear park of some 32 hectares (79 acres),[1] and was created on industrial land devastated by World War II bombing.

In the north, it is separated from the southern edge of Victoria Park by the Hertford Union Canal.

In 1381, 60,000 Men of Essex camped here and met Richard II at Mile End, on 14 June 1381, during the Peasants' Revolt.

The Ragged School Museum opened in 1990 in three canal side former warehouses in Copperfield Road.

The buildings previously housed Dr Barnado's Copperfield Road Ragged School.
