New to East Village?

East Village has several housing providers, and which one manages your building depends on where you live. Knowing who your landlord is matters - they handle repairs, communal areas, and building access.

If you’re not sure which plot your building sits on, the map and plot numbers page will help.

Heating in East Village works differently to most of London. The area uses a district heating network run by East London Energy - there’s no individual gas boiler in your flat. Electricity, water, and drainage each have their own setup too.

Utilities

You’re well connected. Stratford is a 10–15 minute walk and gives you the Central line, Jubilee line, Elizabeth line, Overground, DLR, and National Rail. Stratford International is closer and gets you to St Pancras in about 7 minutes.

There are also several bus routes running through the village itself.

Transport Links

Your nearest GP is Liberty Bridge Road Practice, right on the edge of East Village. Salus Pharmacy is next door. Register with both as soon as you can - you don’t want to be doing it when you actually need them.

Healthcare

East Village is generally a safe place to live, but like anywhere in London, it’s worth knowing the basics — from how building-specific fire safety is managed to what to do about parcel theft.

There’s more here than you might first think. The Hub has a local business directory that covers cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, and services - most of them within a few minutes’ walk.

One of the best things about East Village is the amount of green space. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is on your doorstep, and there are several smaller parks and gardens within the village itself.

Green Spaces

There are clubs, community groups, and local projects worth knowing about - even if you’re not the “joining” type. Events run regularly, and there are ways to have a say in how the neighbourhood is managed.

If you’ve moved in with a dog, cat, or anything else, there’s a page covering local vets, walkers, groomers, and pet-friendly spots.

East Village is still growing. There are several major construction projects and masterplans underway that will change the landscape of E20 over the next few years.
