About Stratford

The 2012 Olympics brought a new lease of life to this East End borough, and today, Stratford is one of the most vibrant locations in the capital. With easy access to the Central Line, it's always been a popular residential area, with elegant Edwardian terraced houses and wide, tree-lined streets.

Today, this location has become even more exciting. For sports lovers, it's the home of the London Aquatic Centre, the London Stadium which is home to the football club West Ham United, and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Adjacent to the underground and rail station you will find Westfield Stratford City, the largest shopping mall in Europe and the new lifestyle destination for East London.

The facelift that brought so much diversity and renewed energy to Stratford has also opened it up as a tourist destination, with attractions such as the exciting ArcelorMittal Orbit.

Stratford also has its more tranquil side, with plenty of green spaces and parks and the leafy peace and quiet of Epping Forest within easy driving distance.
