As the Olympic spirit engulfs the city of London and the whole world, you have to consider yourself incredibly fortunate to be staying at a comfortable and fully loaded serviced apartment in Stratford in East London. It is here that the action will kick off on July 27 at the Olympic Park. It will be abuzz with hectic activity as 17 winners of a total of 26 disciplines will be decided in the hallowed precincts of the sporting park in Stratford. In addition to the action at the Olympic Stadium, you can make a splash at the Aquatics Centre, watch some spectacular stick work at the Hockey Centre and jump for joy at the Basketball Arena.

Though Stratford has become synonymous with the London Olympics, it is home to several events and attractions. Children will love to unearth new stories at the Discover Children's Storytelling Centre and enjoy the party at the Stratford Circus. You can enjoy screenings at the Stratford Picturehouse and even marvel at the proceedings at the Theatre Royal Stratford East. But nothing in the world can prepare you for the most gigantic experience of them all - a visit to the country's newest and most fascinating piece of public art - the ArcelorMittal Tower. Designed to be a permanent legacy of the ephemeral Olympics, this mass of steel soars 380 feet high into the London sky and is widely regarded as London's answer to Paris's Eiffel Tower. For many others though it resembles a Sphinx; while there are those that consider it to be an observatory. Why don't you visit this show stopper and decide for yourself?

But if modern fashion, and not modern art, entices you, then you must head in only one direction - the Westfield Stratford City. Though it has already earned accolades for being the largest shopping centre in Europe, you will find that this stunning shopping centre wears many feathers in its cap. It houses more than 300 stores, tempts to a round of bowling at the bowling alley, mesmerises you with a superlative cinema hall and gives you a thousand reasons to shop at revered names like Marks and Spencer and John Lewis.

A visit to the verdant greenery of the Lee Valley will give you a chance to participate in several outdoor sports, enjoy a picnic by the River Lee or simply walk around the breathtaking British countryside.

And when you return to your Stratford serviced apartment, you can just sit back on the plush couch in the sprawling living room and reflect on all the wonderful memories of the day. If you are keen to create a few lifetime memories of your own, make sure to visit http://www.ratedapartments.com/
