How to find us

Poplar Union is situated between the Limehouse Cut and Bartlett Park. London Borough of Tower Hamlets have worked closely with Levitt Bernstein to redesign Bartlett Park and the canal side to make it a friendlier more accessible space for the local community. Work began in late 2019. The children’s play area is now complete, alongside the outdoor gym, dog park, sensory gardens and canal access.
