East London is, by most definitions, the area east of the City of London and north of the River Thames. According to the 2011 London Plan, it also includes three boroughs south of the river.
Before 1700, London didn’t extend that far outside of the City of London’s walled borders. Industries associated with the River Thames eventually encouraged eastern growth. After the expansion of the railways in the 19th century, the area expanded more.
East London is home to Brick Lane, which is famous for Jack the Ripper. Today, it’s also known as a cultural melting pot, where visitors can easily spend hours getting involved in a range of activities such as watching sporting events at the Olympic Park and enjoying independent galleries.

Stratford - Stratford is home to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Westfield Stratford City. One of the most notable landmarks here is the ArcelorMittal Orbit, a towering red sculpture that offers incredible views across London.
