The Stratford Centre’s multi-storey car park will close from 6pm today as Stratford prepares for the Olympic Games.

Stores will be open for business as usual through the Opening Ceremony on Friday with a number of shops extending their trading hours, especially on Sundays, for the duration of the Games.

The shopping centre on the Broadway also announced the opening of Costa Coffee in Central Square last weekend.

Individual store opening hours can also be found on the Stratford Centre’s website.
