Lyle Park opened in 1924 and was donated by Golden Syrup manufacturer Abraham Lyle & Son whose factory was and still is nearby. It is one of three parks in the London Borough of Newham with a view of the River Thames, the others being Thames Barrier Park and Royal Victoria Gardens. It used to be fairly open but is now becoming totally surrounded by high rise flats and has a rather sad feel.
