Things to do in Stratford

A lasting legacy in Stratford is the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which itself contains many sights and venues. The ArcelorMittal Orbit observation tower is not only Britain’s largest piece of public art, it also allows for splendid views across the region and beyond, and even features a slide! The park host many major sporting events, such as the Rugby World Cup, Major League Baseball and many more. With so much to see and learn at the park, we recommend taking a tour. You can take a walking tour or, for a more relaxing experience, take a leisurely park boat tour through the beautiful surroundings.
