To experience London’s new tube line, I visited Stratford and the London Stadium, now home to West Ham United F.C. The stadium, once the Olympic centerpiece, showcases London's effective repurposing of iconic structures. Adjacent is the ArcelorMittal Orbit, a striking sculpture offering panoramic views of London.

Nearby, UCL East, University College London's new campus, represents a bold step into the future with cutting-edge facilities and modern student accommodations. UCL East embodies the university’s commitment to academic excellence and innovation, with new disciplines opening this year and next.

Stratford has transformed from an industrial area into a vibrant hub of culture, commerce, and education. The Westfield Stratford City mall offers shopping, dining, and entertainment. Well-connected by the new tube line, Stratford boasts green spaces and a high quality of life.

Randox Health, a key player in the UK's COVID-19 response, operates in Stratford, ensuring public health and safety through accessible testing services. Stratford’s evolution from Olympic venue to thriving community hub exemplifies London’s ability to reinvent itself, offering something for everyone.
