Temple Mills is a northerly part of Stratford, south of Leyton, located within the London borough of Newham in East London. There is bespoke shopping in Temple Mills Lane [1].

Temple Mills is surrounded at present by former railway tracks and works beloging to the Great Eastern Railway, and as it is located in part of the lower Lee Valley, was often subject to flooding [2]

Future

From 2007 Stratford will be the location of Stratford International station on the Channel Tunnel rail link and in 2012 the location of the main Olympic Park, which will contain a significant number of venues to be used in the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, and London Velopark.

Stratford has been a focus of regeneration for some years and as of 2006 the seventy three hectare brownfield railway lands to the north of the town centre and station are to be redeveloped in a multi-billion pound scheme called Stratford City which will form a new purpose-built community of 5,000 homes, offices, retail spaces, schools, public spaces, municipal and other facilities. It is hoped that this will become a major metropolitan centre for East London. Part of Stratford City will serve as the Olympic Village.

Stratford is in the London Borough of Newham, which has the fifth highest crime rate of any borough in London and, according to government indices, Newham is also the eleventh most "deprived" district in Britain.

Eurostar depot

Temple Mills is also to be the site for the new maintenance depot for all Eurostar sets in the UK. Located near Stratford International, it will replace the existing North Pole depot from 2007, with operations to coincide with the opening of the new international terminal at St Pancras railway station

Temple Mills depot is designed to house 8-train roads. The overall dimensions of the 8-road shed will be just under 450m long by 64m wide, with a floor to ceiling height of approximately 12m. High level walkways in the trusses provide access to the shed services and facilities [3]

A view of developments at Temple Mills can be accessed via Leyton tube station [4]
