Mile End Park — Attraction in London

One of the best, but least known, parks in the city. Mile End Park stretches from the edges of Poplar, through the midst of Mile End, finally connecting with the western edge of beautiful Victoria Park and Hackney. The swath of green space it offers provides ample space for picnics, sports, family outings, and leisurely strolls.

It might be an inconvenience, but it's not hard. It's our city, with wonderful nature. We need to keep it clean and be responsible for it, for our...

The canal is particularly horrid. It is full of rubbish that is constantly theorem into the water. There are no cleaners to get rid of this problem so it just stays there. Where the are large bits of stagnant water horrible plants grow across it. The water is so polluted that I have never seen fishes in it.
