Queens Road Weekender

Have you ever been in a situation in which a friend asks you to meet at Queen’s Park and in the back of your head you are asking yourself: what’s in Queen’s Park? Where even is Queen’s Park?!

We feel you, I feel you. As an East Londoner myself, I recognize I live in a very sweet bubble where I have most things at my disposal. In most instances, going out of this bubble may feel unnecessary, but it can also be very rewarding.

I am a wanderer at heart, and if you are too, Queen’s Park has a lot for you to unpack. So what do you say, are you ready for a day ride?
