Maryland, London is a place in the London Borough of Newham near Stratford, London and Leyton in East London. It is served by Maryland railway station.
The area is believed to be named after the United States state of the same name (see Maryland) after a trader from Stratford returned to the area after making his fortune there.
The area has seen many changes, especially recently the place has been targeted by redevelopment, linked to the planned opening of the Channel Tunnel rail link in Stratford. The University of East London used to have a major presence in the area, up until they shut their Maryland campus in 2002.
