Getting there

  • Stratford station — Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth, Overground and mainline all converge here; the stadium is signed through the Olympic Park.
  • Hackney Wick — Overground stop on the quieter east side, handy for the pubs there before walking round.
  • Driving — Don't, unless you must: no stadium parking, ULEZ, and event-day restrictions across the park.

Food and drink options

No official away pub found for this ground. Suggestions below are not verified with the club; colours policies vary and fixture restrictions may apply.

  • Westfield Stratford — Every chain imaginable and fully neutral — the default away-fan feeding ground, right by the station. Colours policy unknownMap
  • Hackney Wick bars — Canal-side craft-beer bars like the Beer Merchants Tap; relaxed and mixed before most games. Colours policy unknownMap
  • Green Street, Upton Park — The old manor's cafés and pie-and-mash shops survive — a pilgrimage more than a plan. Colours policy unknownMap

Worth the detour

You walk through it anyway; the ArcelorMittal Orbit slide and the Aquatics Centre are right there.

Off the beaten track

Lower-profile pubs, cafés and corners. Not yet verified — check opening times and any colours policy before visiting.

  • The People's Park Tavern

    Huge pub with its own brewery on the edge of Victoria Park — far from the home-fan corridors.

    Open in maps

  • Here East canalside

    Independent food and coffee units on the quiet side of the park that matchday crowds walk straight past.

  • Three Mills Island

    Tidal mills and a cobbled courtyard 15 minutes south — feels like a film set because it often is.

Ground note · unverified

The stadium bowl is huge and the atmosphere travels poorly up to the gods — lower-tier away seats are worth the hunt.

Ground note · unverified

Post-match queuing at Stratford is managed by barriers; allow 30 minutes from final whistle to platform.
