Victoria Park Harriers stop using Vic Park as the darkness draws in and prefer Well Street Common on Tues and Thurs nights if I remember correctly, these tend to be mostly interval sessions but the guys and gals there are really friendly and often head out in groups for longer runs.
I tend to head up to Highbury fields as that is better lit and do a few laps to mass up the km's. Although, as I live right by Hackney downs I use that for shorter sessions, but the bottom of the park isn't that safe.
I have a head torch and use Regents canal as well as Lea bridge canal for longer runs.
