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.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
