Stratford is the new heart of East London. A central part of the 2012 Olympics, the whole area is seeing an influx of new money. The area is hugely ethnically diverse with a minority White-British population. Home to the Olympic Park and the giant Westfield Shopping Centre, it is now a hub for international, as well as local travel. Housing in Stratford is a little cheaper than the rest of London, as it's much further out from the centre than is sometimes convenient. Rent usually starts around £125 a week and rises to £170, with bills included. Properties are usually Victorian-built shared terraced houses or small, new-build, blocks of flats. Living in Stratford is very convenient for the The University of East London's Stratford Campus. It is a slightly lengthy commute into the centre but London's main universities are certainly still accessible. It is connected to the wider city by Stratford International (Jubilee/DLR/Overground/Central) with also offers high speed rail travel to the continent on the mainline from London St. Pancras.

The Olympic Park: public space and sports centre, one of the greatest London projects since we turned the century. It's also going to be the stadium of West Ham, a proud and historic football club.
El estilo de vida
Cheap, and extremely ethnically mixed. It's not the traditional postcard London: this is the melting-pot London. A good place to live, especially for the price.
