Pre-2012 London Olympics, Stratford was, for many, just a place where the Jubilee line terminated. But the Games put this East London district well and truly on the map. Modern residential developments (with a plethora of amenities) have been multiplying here ever since. Where are the best places to live in Stratford?

Lovely experience in general
I’ve been living at Portlands Place for about three weeks now and so far I don’t really have any negative points.
The transport links in Stratford are so convenient when travelling to the city and there are a variety of shops nearby to choose from.
The only issue that I can think of, is the construction noise opposite Hightail Point which at times can be quite loud if you open your sliding doors in the living room.
There is no parking at Hightail Point which means that my son has to park in Calla House, a building which is a few minutes walk away.
Please review your development:
Design of the building is attractive and the facilities at Hightail Point are appealing for all the residents. It’s a nice clean building throughout. However, one of the 10th floor rooftop garden has not been maintained well.
Atlanta, Relationship Manager and the Resident Hosts/ Concierge Team (Mary, Ernie, Adil, Raymond) are all helpful, friendly and welcoming.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
All prospective tenants including your son/ daughter will need to undergo a long winded process to be able to acquire residency.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I have not had any repairs or maintenance issues so far.
However, in the beginning, my apartment key fobs, parking remotes and Calla House building fobs were not working on several occasions. It was dealt with efficiently by the Resident Hosts and Concierge Team (Mary, Ernie, Adil and Raymond).
Atlanta, Relationship Manager has always responded to my queries proactively via email.
