But for impatient people wanting an early preview, a temporary shop has opened up on The Street part of Westfield Stratford City.

It features a virtual cycle tour through the new neighbourhood for visitors to explore the sights and sounds of the neighbourhood and discover the parklands, wetlands, education campus, health centre and the sporting facilities.

There is also a full scale architectural model of East Village and advisors with information about the homes that will be available to rent and buy.

The space will be open Monday to Wednesday 10am – 6pm, Thursday – Saturday 10am – 8pm and Sunday 11am – 6pm.
