London 

As a West Londoner I am working on my East London updates 

London

The High Speed rail train from Canterbury West will deliver you in air conditioned comfort to London St Pancreas Station in 57 minutes.  The Victoria, Northern, Circle, Hammersmith and City, Piccadilly and Metropolitan underground lines are all easily accessible from Kings Cross St Pancreas as is the Thames Link for fast access to the City, Farringdon and Blackfriars

Stratford international is a stop before St Pancreas and bring you to the London Olympic Stadium site.  With access to the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), Central and Jubilee Underground lines
