Stratford

An East-London area and transport hub much changed and improved in recent years with the arrival of the Olympic Village for the 2012 games and the Westfield shopping centre. These factors mean Stratford often feels very busy but they have brought much needed investment to a poor part of London.

A friend of mine that has lived in Stratford (well, actually Maryland) for many years said to me that you can’t polish a turd, but they really are trying their very best. The Olympic park and Westfields shopping centre have brought much needed footfall and money to the area. Now Crossrail too! If you set aside for a moment the fact that Westfields is something many of us would avoid like the plague, this all has to be pretty positive for the area. But will it ever be a nice place to live... I can’t see it personally. But then I guess other places have been transformed against all odds. Maybe there is hope for Stratford.
