Block Management Stratford
As a specialist Block Management Company we are operating in Stratford.
History of Stratford
Stratford was first mentioned in 1067. At that time the area was called Straetforda - meaning the ford of a Roman road. Stratford was then essentially a small village near a crossroads on the River Lea, which formed part of the Roman road from London to Colchester.
Like much of the East End, Stratford was originally an agricultural area and remained quite rural for many centuries. Stratford Langthorne Abbey was built in the area in the 1130s. This would become one of the largest monastic sites in the country, working most of the land in and around Stratford itself, until it was closed when Henry VIII proclaimed the dissolution of the monasteries in 1500.
In the heyday of agriculture and into the mid 19th century, Stratford supplied London with many agricultural products, making it famous for its potato production. Starting in the mid-18th century, the transition from agriculture to industrial production began.

What our CEO, Mary Anne Bowring, likes about Stratford
If you were one of the millions of people who attended the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, you've surely seen some of the iconic buildings that make up Stratford's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - the late Zaha Hadid Aquatics Centre, The Twist Landmark of Anish Kapoor, the ArcelorMittal Orbit and the Olympic Stadium Grand Laurel Wreath. These buildings and the surrounding park now form the center of a vibrant and popular leisure destination.

ArcelorMittal Orbit
Inaugurated in June, this red twisted metal tower is the tallest and longest tunnel slide in the world. Designed by Belgian artist Carsten Höller, this giant slide takes you on a 40-second descent at a speed of around 24 km/h. If you're not brave enough to slide down the slide, take the lift to the top of ArcelorMittal Orbit, where its viewing platforms offer sweeping views of London from the east.
