London’s Pocket Parks: West Ham Park, E7

This month marks the 150th anniversary of one of East London’s largest free parks, at West Ham. Not just free to visit, but also free in that it doesn’t cost the local council anything to look after it either, as it forms an outpost of the City of London, and it’s the City that pays for it.
You won’t be surprised to see that it’s a bit more impressive than the average municipal park.The park originates from a manor house in the southeastern corner of the park today
