It's a good 30-35 minute walk from Stratford to the hockey venue even when there are no queues or crowds. The nice thing about it is that you get to see the rest of the Park and it is lovely - and at that time, shouldn't be too crowded.


If you want the quickest route, the closest station is Leyton and then use the Eton Manor gate (as Katgod suggests). It's about a 10 minute walk from the Eton Manor gate to the hockey. And you can hop on a 308 bus between Leyton and the Eton Manor gate; it's a bit of a circuitous route to avoid the A12 if you walk it.

As per Applespider, Eton Manor gate is the nearest but not sure how close that is to tube/train. We went via West Ham, which is a good 15 minutes from tube to olympic park and then about 25 minutes from there to riverside (depending on how quick you walk). Stratford is much shorter from tube/train to park, but then has longer security queues. I'd reckon it's nearer 15 minutes from gate to arena if you walk quickly, 30 minutes if you take a leisurly stroll, stop to pick up a drink etc.

    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so    
    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.
