East Village has quietly become one of East London’s most reliable Pokémon GO playgrounds. Between the parks, public art, and the never-ending flow of walkers and cyclists, it’s packed with solid spawn points and gyms - and a local crew, 
PoGo East London, who make the most of it.
Here’s a look at the best places to catch ’em all around E20, plus a peek into the community that keeps things lively.
Victory Park
This is the heart of East Village PoGo life. Multiple Pokéstops, steady spawns, and a gym you’ll see change colour more times than the weather.
Olympic Park (near the Rings)
A short walk from the Village, the area around the iconic Olympic Rings is raid central. High player traffic, plenty of gyms, and regular rare spawns.
The Wetlands
A gem for anyone who prefers a quieter hunt. Water-type Pokémon pop up reliably, and the paths here are perfect for walking off eggs.
Around Sainsbury’s Local
You wouldn’t think it, but this corner of E20 is a mini-cluster of stops and quick catches - ideal if you only have five minutes before the laundry finishes or the bus arrives.
Hackney Bridge route
If you fancy stretching your legs, the walk from East Village toward Hackney Bridge is full of stops and quirky spawns.
