History of Stratford, West Ham, Canning Town, Silvertown etc & lots of historical London Pubs
The Stratford, West Ham and surronding areas site is updated regularly. The sites purpose is to document the history of part of East London that is now generally thought of as London. Enjoy.
The Olympics is coming to Stratford, East London, in

How are you going to travel, and where are you going
to stay?
The answers!
Well, it depends on you budget. If you have loadsamoney, then get a flight
into Heathrow, use the Heathrow Express into London, a quick tube to Stratford
and stay in one of the local hotels.
If, like most people, you do not have loadsamoney; then you may consider
staying elsewhere. Stratford is on the main train line between Liverpool Street
and Southend, with stops as follows:
Liverpool Street; Stratford; Maryland; Forest Gate; Manor Park ;
Ilford ; Seven Kings ; Goodmayes ; Chadwell heath ; Romford ; Gidea Park ;
Harold Wood. Brentwood ; Shenfield.
The travel times between these stations is about 20 to 30 minutes in
total, e.g. you can get from Romford to Stratford in about 20 minutes. Romford,
in Essex, would be an incredibly good place to stay, trust me.
e.g.
I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
Once you have discovered enough history of Essex; why not study to undergraduate or postgraduate level in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering at the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems, Essex University in Colchester, Essex? It is not only a great place to study, but also a foreleader in technology at an UK leading University with courses and doctoral research in Robotics, Natural Engineering, Intelligent Systems,
Embedded Systems, Networking and Photonics, Laser Technology etc.
