East London sports facilities and activities

Area guide: East London

East London is considered the 'edgy' part of London and whilst being fairly challenging to define geographically, broadly speaking it spreads out from Brick Lane across to Barking and Dagenham, up to Havering and down towards Bexley.

In fact given that East London was the home of the London Olympics, unsurprisingly there are plenty of options for sports facilities in East London.
