There’s probably no better modern example of a district that has progressed as quickly or as dramatically as Stratford. Part of Greater London, the area only came into public focus for much of the country due to its place in the 2012 Summer Olympics. It’s fair to say that this was also a huge turning point for the district in general.

Before this point, Stratford had suffered a downturn following de-industrialisation. Thankfully though, the regeneration brought about by those Olympic investments seemed to blow away the cobwebs and restore Stratford to its former glory in a new and revamped way.

Today, it’s hard to imagine the difficulties that the area faced not so long ago. The multibillion-pound investments have resulted in exceptional shopping centres, sports facilities, new residential areas and cultural additions, such as improvements to educational facilities and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

These changes are extremely welcome in Stratford and they’ve provided fresh opportunities and improved the lives of the people living there. However, it’s worth pointing out that, although the area’s history was not without its challenges, it is a history that is well worth holding onto. After all, it’s this which makes Stratford so unique and provides the area with its distinct landmarks and architecture. Examples of these include the Old Town Hall and the King Edward VII public house.

In fact, if you take a look at these landmarks alongside some modern examples – like the ArcelorMittal Orbit, the 114-metre tall sculpture and the country’s largest piece of public art – you get a good sense of what Stratford has become. It’s a district that’s as respectful of the depth of its culture and history as it is ambitious about the future.

Of course, this is all without mentioning its position within London, giving it the benefit of excellent transport links throughout the city and beyond. This means residents have a world of opportunity, both professionally and in terms of entertainment, at their disposal.
