East Village, Olympic residential district in Stratford, United Kingdom
East Village is a residential district in Stratford containing about 2,800 homes spread across multiple plots with communal squares, courtyards, and water features. The buildings and landscaping form a connected neighborhood east of the River Lea.
The site was once contaminated industrial land but was redeveloped as the Athletes' Village for the 2012 Summer Olympics. After the games, it was converted into a permanent residential neighborhood.
Lab E20 serves as a community hub where neighbors gather for events focused on sustainability and local initiatives. The shared squares and courtyards show how residents use these spaces to connect with one another.
The area is accessible through Stratford International station, the Docklands Light Railway, and multiple bus routes in transport zone 2. These connections make it straightforward to reach central London.
Roughly nine out of ten homes here hold strong energy performance ratings. This demonstrates how the neighborhood was designed with environmental standards in mind from the beginning.
