Variety of quality produce to buy as well as things to eat and drink there in the park.

Columbia Road Flower Market
10:00 - 15:00/16:00 every Sunday
a walk through Victoria park or bus ride away with the no.8 from Medway Road. Longstanding East London flower market takes over the small street lined with cute shops and cafes.

a walk to Canary Wharf
Can walk to Canary Wharf / the Thames river within 40 minutes of the flat. Takes you through Mile End park, along the canal, through the docks in Limehouse and coming out onto the river with great views of the city and Wharf, and a pleasant walk along the way. Restaurants and bars there too. Recommend 'The Grapes' pub nearby, very cute old pub directly on the river bank (also owned by actor sir Ian McKellan - aka Gandalf!)

Startling view of city & a nice short walk
for a small stroll in the area, walk down Antill Road to Mile End Park and turn left (south) you'll pass the art pavilion and nice pond with swans and ducks and area to sit. Beyond that is a small hill you can walk up to get a view of the area and a surprising view of the contrasting modern high rises of Canary Wharf. Nice place to see the sunset with changing lights. Mile End station is very close plus co-op shop is under the bridge if you happen to need groceries at the same time!
