Historically part of the county of Essex, but now residing in the London Borough of Newham, Stratford draws its name from Old English, signifying a 'ford on a Roman road'. The town emerged from modest beginnings, growing exponentially in the 19th century with the advent of the railway, and developing into an important manufacturing hub during the Victorian era, producing everything from pharmaceuticals to processed foods.

In recent years, Stratford has seen extensive regeneration, becoming a hub for shopping and culture. The focal point of this transformation was its role as the main hosting district for the London 2012 Summer Olympics, which has left the area with a lasting legacy to be explored.

When to visit Stratford

Stratford is a joy to visit year-round, with a wealth of indoor and outdoor attractions to enjoy whatever the weather. Ideal visiting times are during the late July period, when temperatures typically hover around a pleasant 22.7°C and rarely drop below 12.1°C at night, perfect for evenings of al fresco dining and relaxed strolls around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

For those looking for a more tranquil getaway, the spring and autumn months of March, April, and September offer mild weather and fewer crowds. Venture into Stratford during these times for the best deals and to experience the town in its most serene state. But remember, autumn colour and spring blossoms offer a breathtaking backdrop whether you're exploring one of the town's parks or riverside paths.
