Based in London's east end, Stratford is situated at the end of the London Underground's Jubilee line. Its public transport links are fabulous, linking the town by tube, rail, DLR and bus to central, east, north and south London. Stratford International Station is also opening this year and will provide a high-speed rail link to Kent and Heathrow as well as further stops on the DLR line. 2012 will be an exciting year for Stratford as it plays host to the Olympic games. This vibrant and optimistic town has seen major regeneration over the years with improvements made to its train station and town centre and the introduction of a cinema, library, performing arts venue and theatre. Some of Stratford's attractions include the University of East London, the Olympic park, Three Mills Studios and Atherton Leisure Centre. It also has a great local shopping centre which houses a range of affordable stores and indoor and outdoor market stalls. There are plans underway to build a multi-billion pound shopping centre which will become one of Europe's largest. Adjacent to it there are plans to introduce 5,000 new homes, offices, schools, public spaces and facilities, making Stratford a great place to invest currently. It seems it will soon be seen as a major metropolitan centre in the hear of east London.
