Mile End Stadium

Mile End Stadium is a sports complex with multiple facilities including an athletics track, floodlit football fields, tennis courts, and a modern swimming center with a 25-meter pool. The site combines different sports areas that serve both competitors and visitors throughout the year.

The stadium opened in 1990 as a major addition to East London's sports facilities. This development reflected the area's commitment to improving recreational infrastructure during that decade.

The venue is home to two local football clubs that play in the Eastern Counties Football League and draw supporters from the surrounding neighborhoods.

The site is well served by public transportation with numerous bus routes and the nearby Mile End tube station. Access to Cycle Superhighway CS2 makes it accessible by bicycle as well.

In 1995, the stadium hosted a major concert featuring the band Blur that attracted tens of thousands of visitors and showed the venue could serve purposes beyond sports. This event highlighted the flexibility of the space for different kinds of gatherings.
