Things to do in Stratford this week
Updated Thursday 15 October. 16 listings, checked this morning.
Stratford is home to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, built for the 2012 Games, with its parkland, waterways and public sports venues, and the big Westfield shopping centre next to the station.
The new cultural quarter on the park has brought more museums and performance spaces, and Hackney Wick, on the other side of the park, has canalside bars and artists’ studios. This page covers both.
