What’s the score?
A decent sized pocket park handily located between the south side of Victoria Park and Roman Road, Bow. Fully enclosed and nicely landscaped, this is perfect for young kids – think toddlers learning to scoot and primary school kids having a kick-about after school.
St Stephen’s features two giant daisies, they were created by artist Helena Roden, along with the beautiful iron gates, and reference the wildflowers that were found on the site before it was developed. Roden’s giant flowers, including poppies, bluebells and buttercups, can be found in a number of other sites around Bow.
