Victoria Park is in Church End in Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet. It covers 7 hectares (17 acres). It is close to Finchley Central and West Finchley tube stations. Much of the park was originally part of Colby's Farm, where Charles Dickens wrote part of Martin Chuzzlewit (Wikipedia page [1]). In 1887 Henry Stephens proposed converting the area to a park to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, but it was not opened until 1902, a year after Victoria's death. It was the only public park in the former Borough of Finchley until 1914.
