Why not explore the nearby areas of Stratford, West Ham, Bow, Maryland, Victoria Park, Plaistow, Upton, Homerton, Leyton and Forest Gate

"Until 2010, Greenford was the only station on the Underground network with an escalator up to platform level. There is now a small escalator in the central line part of Stratford Station."

I love walking along the Lee Navigation in Hackney Wick and looking at all the charming narrow boats.

Joshua Mugume

The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has been a fantastic addition to Stratford, putting our area on the map!
