Known for
The Olympic Park (legacy of the 2012 London Olympics), Westfield Stratford City (one of Europe's largest urban shopping centres), the East Bank cultural hub (V&A East, Sadler's Wells, BBC Music Studios), and East London's most dramatically transformed neighbourhood
A little history
Stratford hosted the 2012 London Olympics — the Games transformed a post-industrial wasteland into the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The ongoing East Bank development is bringing the V&A's new museum, Sadler's Wells East and BBC Music Studios to the area. Westfield Stratford opened in 2011.
The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is excellent — the Velodrome and Aquatics Centre are exceptional. Westfield for retail. The East Bank cultural development is transforming the area rapidly.
