Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
East Wick · 1.9 miles
A legacy of the 2012 Summer Olympics, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park offers a mix of sporting venues and public green space. The site spans parts of Stratford, Bow, Leyton and Hackney Wick in east London, straddling the boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. Royal Mail allocated the postcode E20 to the park and the adjacent Stratford City development, and the nearest town recorded in OpenStreetMap is East Wick. Construction was completed in 2012, the year the Games were held. Originally called the Olympic Park during the event, it was later renamed to honour the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, although it is not an official Royal Park. After the Games, part of the area reopened in July 2013 and the majority, including the Aquatics Centre, VeloPark and the ArcelorMittal Orbit, reopened in April 2014. Key facilities include the London Stadium, the former Olympic stadium now used for athletics and concerts, the London Aquatics Centre with its distinctive roof, the Copper Box arena and the Lee Valley VeloPark. The ArcelorMittal Orbit, a steel observation tower, forms the park’s most prominent piece of public art. The former athletes’ village has been converted into the East Village, providing around 3,600 apartments adjacent to Stratford City. Additional amenities comprise the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, the London Olympics Media Centre, northern parklands and reinstated allotments. Management of the legacy is overseen by the independent charity The Legacy List, established in 2011 to develop art, education and skill-building projects. Plans announced in 2012 for a national Olympic Museum beside the Orbit were later shelved in July 2013. The park was designed by the EDAW Consortium with input from Arup, WS Atkins and landscape architects, and its lighting scheme was created by Speirs + Major. It is described as one of the largest urban parks created in Western Europe for more than 150 years, with restored wetland habitats and native planting.

Martyrs Memorial
Stratford New Town · 1.2 miles
A 19th-century monument in Stratford New Town marks the site where a group of eleven men and two women were executed for their Protestant convictions during the Marian persecutions of 1556. The stone column stands in St John’s churchyard on Stratford Broadway and was raised in 1879 to honour those who suffered at the hands of the authorities. Designed by J T Newman, the structure comprises an ornate hexagonal shaft topped by a twelve-sided spire that reaches approximately 65 feet. One face bears a terra-cotta relief panel that reproduces an illustration from Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, while the remaining sides list the names of the thirteen individuals, together with Elizabeth Warne, Stephen Harwood, Hugh Laverock, John Apprice, Patrick Packingham and the Reverend Thomas Rose, whose fates were linked to the same period of religious turmoil. The memorial was financed through public subscription, the appeal being chaired by Rev William Jay Bolton, Vicar of Stratford. Its unveiling on 2 August 1879 was conducted under the auspices of the Earl of Shaftesbury, whose address reflected the anti-Catholic sentiment of the time. Contemporary commentary in The Graphic criticised the polarising tone of the speech. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II listed structure, with Historic England confirming its protected status. Visitors can view the memorial within the churchyard, where the surrounding setting remains unchanged since its erection.
