The London Borough of Newham lies east of the City of London in Inner London, straddling areas once governed by West Ham and East Ham. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and ArcelorMittal Orbit stand as legacies of the 2012 Summer Olympics, while West Ham Park provides green space within the borough. The area contains historical churches, civic buildings, and parks of interest to those exploring East London's heritage.
