Mixed Olympic Legacy For East Ham

Pierrette Simuene interviews MP Stephen Timms on the impact the 2012 Olympic Games has brought on East London.

Since the Olympic Games, Stratford has changed so much, with the opening of Stratford Westfield. This helped bring more jobs to the community and also is bringing more eyes to the area with customers coming from all over the country going to the biggest shopping centre in Europe.

It’s created a new lifestyle destination for East London, with spectacular views of the Olympic Park. The Great Eastern Market within the food court serves original food that you would find in a traditional food market.

But with all these changes was the area of East Ham forgotten about?

MP Stephen Timms discusses the benefits and downsides that have happened within East London since the Olympics came to an end.
