Retail therapy at Westfield Shopping Centre
There are actually two Westfield shopping centres in London - in Shepherd's Bush, west London, and Stratford, east London. Stratford's Westfield is one of the biggest shopping centres in Europe - so it's the perfect place for a spot of retail therapy. With over 250 shops and 70 restaurants to choose from, you'll be spoilt for choice on where to shop. A cinema, casino and bowling alley make Westfield a great place to chill out in the evening, too.
Relive the Olympic tradition at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Walking out of the shopping centre, you come to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, a 560-acre sports stadium complete with aquatic centre and velodrome. Sound familiar? It played host to the London 2012 Olympics.
The Olympic Park is a great place for sports enthusiasts and families alike to visit. Try your hand at the mountain bike course at the Lee Valley Velopark, or test your nerve on the ArcelorMittal Orbit - the world's longest and tallest tunnel slide.
Explore the Big Smoke
Stratford is less than 20 minutes from central London by train, making it the perfect place to stay while you're exploring the capital. Get the train to King's Cross St. Pancras to explore Islington, Camden Town and the British Library, or head to Liverpool Street Station for Whitechapel and the Old Spitalfields Market.
