What to do in Stratford, East London this Spring
Blue skies, daffodils and birdsong… spring is a time of fresh starts and renewal, where anything feels possible. And in Stratford, East London — home to premium rental community Coppermaker Square — fun abounds, with countless opportunities to get outside and celebrate this transformative season.
Here’s our pick of the best.
- Take to the water
There are few places where spring is more enchanting than along the river. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the canal, stopping at one of the many bars and restaurants for a pint and a bite to eat. While away an afternoon at Crate Brewery or indulge in seasonal food at award-winning floating restaurant Barge East. And if you’re feeling adventurous, why not explore the water in style by hiring a kayak or hopping on a boat tour at the Olympic Park.
- Spring forward at Coppermaker Square
Throughout spring, Coppermaker Square is holding a packed calendar of events to help residents reset for the season. Starting with monthly sound bath sessions on the first Thursday of every month and our Spring Forward at Coppermaker Square event on 31st May which will be a day packed with wellness workshops, there are plenty of ways to embrace wellness this season. Log into the resident app for more information and to book.
- Head to Roof East
Opening in April, this seasonal rooftop venue in Stratford has everything you need for a fun-fuelled weekend with friends. Try one of the many games on offer, including crazy golf, archery and bowling, or catch a film as part of the rooftop cinema club. Add to that a selection of street food, cocktails and some of the best views in East London, and it’s hard to beat.
- Get active

Take advantage of the lighter evenings and warmer temperatures to explore the many running and cycling routes in and around Stratford. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a great place to train for your next event, while nature lovers can head to the rugged beauty of Walthamstow Wetlands or Hackney Marshes with its network of paths along the River Lea. Want some company? Sign up to Coppermaker Square’s community run club and join them on their regular outings.
- Explore Hackney Wick
This formerly industrial neighbourhood is now home to a buzzing creative scene, vintage shops and lively bars. Check out the area’s colourful street art or hunt for a bargain before stopping off at one of the area’s many brunch spots. Take a seat in the secret garden at hidden café Thingy or grab a caffeine hit and mouth-watering pastry from canal-side coffee connoisseurs The Roasting Shed.
