The other Stratford

There are two Stratfords nowadays. Not 'on Avon' but the one at the Olympic Park which is really a another country full of beautiful, tanned toned people.
the other one is much more interesting. On the day the Olympic stadium opened for athletics, I went to the shopping centre 200 yards away. No,, not Westfield, but the Old Mall, which itself replaced Angel Lane over forty years ago. This is the real thing, just like the coke which the chap at the start of the film casually tossed on the ground.
There  followed a stand off with the police watching warily nearby
