The park was completed in 1850; its need was stimulated by concern at the much higher mortality rate in the East End than the rest of London - the Queen was petitioned and assented. It aimed to be a people's park to rival the royal parks in the West End, providing access to green spaces and open-air activity, and it proved popular from the outset.
