The family friendly guide to Stratford, London

Famed for hosting the London 2012 Olympics and the continuous regeneration that has happened in the area since the games make Stratford a very well-connected and exciting place to visit. I recently spent a weekend here with my kids to fully soak in all that this East London destination has to offer and I cannot sing its praise enough.  I have always been one to stay in central London when visiting the caption, especially with my kids as convenience is key but Stratford definitely won me over, not only is it very quick and easy ( you can get to central London in under 10mins) to reach but it also offers more space to relax and explore after a busy day in the city while being spoilt for choice when it comes to activities, attractions and places to eat.  I've put together a list of things we personally tried and would recommend as well as additional things you can do in Stratford with your kids Things to do (our personal recommendations) 1.

Here’s why it’s a must and not just an option: * You get to eat when you want Convenience is definitely the biggest benefit of booking a hotel with, let’s say, the best Pullman restaurants in Tokyo . With a restaurant right inside your hotel, you don’t have to worry about being late to your reservation or not having anything to eat in the middle of the night. Whenever you’re hungry, you can just go down and enjoy good food without leaving your accommodation. This is also extra convenient if you’re traveling with a big group such as yo......
