The first residents have moved into homes previously used as the athletes village during the London Olympics.

A total of 50 of the flats and houses in what is now known as East Village will be occupied by the end of the week.

Work to renovate other properties is ongoing and they expected to be filled in the coming months.
New kitchens have been installed and temporary partitions removed.

The properties range from one bedroom flats to four bedroom townhouses.

Sir John Armitt, chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority said: "This is the London 2012 legacy really coming to life, with each week extra families, couples and individuals getting the keys to their new homes.

"We were determined they should get the same high standards as athletes and spectators enjoyed during London 2012. That's taken time but we are confident the people of East Village will love their new homes."
