Green Spaces

East Village and the surrounding area have excellent dog-walking options:

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

📍 Adjacent On-lead only

560 acres of parkland that surrounds East Village - riverside paths, wetlands, and landscaped gardens. Dogs must be kept on leads throughout the park, except at Hopkins' Field (see below). Perfect for on-lead walks at any time.

The only designated off-lead area in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. A large, flat field in the north of the park, framed by the Copper Box Arena, Here East and Lee Valley VeloPark. Head north through the park from East Village.

Hackney Marshes

📍 15 min walk Off-lead ✓

Expansive Lee Valley marshland - wide open space ideal for longer off-lead runs well away from roads. Follow the Lea towpath north from the Olympic Park.

Victoria Park

📍 25 min walk Off-lead ✓

One of East London's finest parks. Dogs are welcome off-lead across most of the park - exceptions are children's play areas and sports pitches. Reachable via the Lea Valley towpath, or by bus.
