Bethnal Green Gardens

Bethnal Green Gardens is in the heart of Bethnal Green, next to the underground station.

In December 2017, the Stairway to Heaven memorial was unveiled to mark the worst civilian disaster of World War II. On 3 March 1943, an air-raid warning sounded and locals raced for cover at Bethnal Green tube station. Confusion and panic led to hundreds on the staircase entrance. In the crush that ensued, 173 were killed including 62 children.

The park has a range of facilities such as:

  • Play area for ages 4 and below
  • Play area for ages 5 and above
  • Basketball, Football, Netball, Toilets, Ranger Service
  • Tennis court bookings
