Clissold Park

Enjoy a peaceful stroll through Clissold Park, a large open space in Stoke Newington, where you might spot the herd of fallow deer.

The park has been open to the public since 1889 and is a great space for both adults and children to explore.

Sit and take in calming views of the river or take advantage of the sports facilities, which include tennis courts, a skate park and a table tennis table. The kids can let off steam in the children’s play area, while in the summer months they can splash about in the outdoor water zone.

Grade II-listed Clissold House sits at the centre of the park and is home to a café offering eat-in sandwiches, salads and made-to-order hot food, as well as takeaway picnic treats.
