Local guide
About Stratford
The London 2012 Olympic Games has transformed Stratford beyond recognition. With newly built restaurants and bars amongst the traditional East End haunts, Westfield (Europe's largest shopping centre), and the former Olympic venues now open to the public, the area provides a fantastic range of shopping, drinking, dining and fitness activities. The Central Line will whizz you into Oxford Circus in just 30 minutes.
