Early Years
East Village's options for under-5s - toddler groups, swimming, music, sport, and classes, all within walking distance of E20.
East Village sits between some genuinely good options for under-5s. The Olympic Park is on the doorstep, Stratford is a short walk, and there are a handful of free community groups nearby. Nothing meets inside E20 itself, but you're never far.
