    I live in Stratford (on top of the shopping centre and tube though) and not had any problems. Transport wise, couldn't be better. Everything goes from the station, tube, train and dlr

    Not sure if i would want to live on some of the back streets though.

    I've lived in stratford for 3 years nearly and not had one single problem with crime and get the bus to Ilford and back every day. East London is a good place to live and easy to get anywhere with the Tube/Bus/DLR if you dont have a car.
    I agree. Just ignore black-saturn's views. She hates east London and while Stratford etc is not perfect, it's not remotely as bad as she thinks. It seems from BS' approach is partly because she feels (in numerous earlier posts that seem to have been deleted by the moderators)there's too many non-white people living there. The rest of us enjoy the multi cultural aspect...
