AlexMcLintock - I'd write more but everyone I know who lived in Stratford moved out. Aegidian - Fortunately a number of other people moved in!

[?????] It may not be Chelsea but this is a rapidly growing area, which has everything you need within a near proximity of each other. I would recommend it everyone as there is something for everyone to enjoy!
