Stratford, E15

Stratford, historically Stratford Langthorne, is a place in the London Borough of Newham in East London.

In 1847 much of what is now Stratford was open countryside, and from 1889 to 1965 Stratford formed part of the County Borough of West Ham of Essex.

Modern Stratford was built as a new town, initially called "Hudson Town" after George Hudson the railway entrepreneur, and it was the location of the Eastern Counties Railway's railway works. See the full history of the railway works at Temple Mills. It was closed in 1963, but a small depot still exists.

The church of St John in the centre of Stratford High Street contains in the churchyard the elaborate Martyrs' Memorial to those Essex protestants burnt in the Marian Persecution.

Stratford is a major shopping centre and contains Newham's cultural quarter centred around the Theatre Royal Stratford East and Stratford Circus. Stratford station and adjacent bus station is a major transport hub.

As soon as the travelator link to Stratford domestic station is built (2009?), Stratford will be the location of Stratford International station on the Channel Tunnel rail link and in 2012 the location of the main Olympic Park, which will contain a significant number of venues to be used in the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, and London Velopark.
