This was an almost derelict area of decaying industrial buildings straddling Tower Hamlets and Newham but is now developing into a highly gentrified home to artist studios in the former industrial spaces, quirky cafes, and creative eateries, with craft breweries and bars along the River Lee Navigation canal. The Here East business centre in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park houses hip restaurants and startups, while Olympic sports venues nearby include the London Stadium, now home to West Ham United soccer team, and Lee Valley Velopark.
