What locals say about Stratford and surrounding areas
“East village has lovely independent cafes and restaurants, run by passionate individuals. From artisan bread to home made gelato and fabulous cocktails. All this on the door step of a huge park, no cars, sports facilities and lots of activities within the community.”
Hugo
“My offices recently moved to Stratford, so now my commute is just 5 mins on the Central Line from Leytonstone tube station! Used to live West, but Bushwood Area has none of the space compromises and bigger Victorian houses and gardens on more friendly streets. Iâve woods and ponds like you wouldnât believe at the end of my road.”
Mark

HR free zone.” Standing up so you don't have to take it lying it down anymore, the Pub Landlord is back to make sense of the questions you probably already had the answers to. You know what they say: There’s no school like the old school, with the dodgy overflowing toilets.Read more
