Its flat, open spaces are ideal for festival stages and crowd management, and its location in Tower Hamlets provides excellent accessibility for Londoners and visitors alike. The park has a rich history of hosting major music events, making it a familiar and comfortable environment for festival-goers. With its mature trees, ornamental lakes, and beautiful flower gardens, Victoria Park provides a stunning natural amphitheatre for a day of live music under the summer sky.
