Stratford

Once home of the London 2012 Olympics, there’s a whole lot to see and do in East London. Stratford Station perfectly positions you to visit Westfield, Stratford City - the largest urban shopping centre in London – or the iconic O2 Arena.

Getting to and from Stansted Airport via Stratford (East London) takes around 60 minutes. To get to the airport, it’s a quick 13 minute tube to Tottenham Hale and then a 36 minutes journey to the airport.
