Around 200 people gathered in east London's Hackney Marshes on Saturday (May 30) to enjoy an outdoor party with a DJ despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Video shows scores of people gathering close together in the sunshine.

"Large crowd of people attending an outdoor party with DJs, music and zero social distancing," the filmer - a Hackney resident of several years - said. He estimated a crowd of around 200 people were in attendance.

The gathering caused surprise on social media among local witnesses as the UK begins to ease the lockdown.

"Is every park full of big groups? Hackney Marshes is shocking," tweeted pattytheduck.

"Hackney Marshes looking mad right now," tweeted Mally_DB.

"Crazy crazy scenes on Hackney Marshes. I know someone has speakers but come on people," tweeted Rainkingbritt.
