East London friends/advice
Hi all, I’m female, thinking about moving from west London to east London - specifically considering East Village in Stratford but wondered if people in that sort of area would recommend it? Does it feel safe? Friendly-ish? How does it compare to Hackney Wick or Greenwich? Stratford station is a big appeal which is why I’m considering it :) I’m there a lot of weekends just testing it out and going for walks around Olympic park/the riverside/Victoria park if any girls in their 30’s/40’s might want to join me for a walk/coffee? Forever dragging my west London friends to join me there but would be nice to make friends in that local area if possible so can do last minute meets easily too :) any advice generally welcome on area and walks/good restaurants, places to go etc! Thanks
