Stratford, EssexStratford, historically known as 'Stratford Langthorne', is a town in Essex within the metropolitan conurbation. The town is one of a pair of Stratfords facing each other across the River Lea, as Bow in Middlesex used to be called Stratford-atte-Bow, both towns being named after the Roman road passing through them.
