Mark LeeJuly 25, 2015Atmosphere great, other visitors friendly, staff friendly but lack of eating places around Stadium. Just a burger Van And a fish & chips Van ... For thousands
- Lynne WillcockApril 13, 2018Although West Ham United now has the Olympic Stadium as its Home Venue, the whole park has not lost any of its parkland feel and layout. Lovely relaxing walks around the park and along the canal
It can't be denied: they've done a great job turning the Olympic Park into a new public park for London. Go and explore, it's especially good in the summer with water fountains & wild flowers galore.
Anthony PopeoJuly 8, 2017Awesome open area in east London. Very neat to see so many venues still so well maintained and many host events and activities for the public.
Kritt NormsaskulFebruary 28, 2015Wonderful public space ☺ Perfect for a morning/evening run. Also go in the summer where you can have picnics. If you have kids, bring them along too as there's plenty of things to keep them occupied.
A great modern park away from the hustle-bustle of busy London. The water fountains and climbing wall make a great addition.- Might not be the cheapest, but certainly the easiest & quickest way to get here is using SouthEasterns high speed rail service from St Pancras, Ebbsfleet or in Kent to Stratford International station.
Gagan SinghAugust 5, 2015Brits planned this well. It is a multi use place. During summer they host lots of different events. It is next to Westfield Stratford, so there are great food and shopping options.- Mark LeeJuly 27, 2015Stadium great. Surroundings tranquil and great views. Limited food even for 25 July 2015 Athletics just a burger van and a fish & chip van
CrazycolAugust 13Once home of the London 2012 Olympics but now a lovely park with places to chill and soak up the sun.Kids play area good size but large park so lots to explore.Look out for the Olympic bell.
Mei SuenJune 30, 2013Beautiful park now used for festivals and concerts. Allow half an hour to get out of the park to get to Stratford Station, from the main stage.
Jemma TNovember 21, 2015Race of Champions. Great atmosphere, great views of the whole track, brilliant sound system. Could do with semi-skimmed milk on the tea stands!
Tim RoweApril 21, 2014Now it's fully open it's a good park, with lots of stuff for kids. Unfortunately, one outfit seems to have a monopoly on catering, so the kiosks all have the pitiful choice and inflated prices.
H BombJuly 6, 2013When leaving beat the crowds by heading to Stratford International. 6 minutes to Kings Cross and if you go to the end of the platform you can get an entire carriage to yourself.
MadebythechefAugust 12, 2016Excellent beach! Great day out for the kids. Westfield Stratford Queen Elizabeth park.
Such a lovely out door space, a Boris bike station is in the park and are a great to cycle around the park
Like this legacy of the olympics. Worth exploring this unusual urban / nature environnement
- Absolutely beautiful park to take a stroll during summer 🌞Upvoted Oct 10
BC OOctober 12, 2015Can get a little chilly here at night during the autumn/winter if you're watching an event!
Daniel LeyOctober 17, 2017Somewhat eerie post olympics but a lovely place, worth hiring a bike to have a cycle round.
Brennan WozencroftJuly 9, 2013Not a great venue for a large gig. The main stage area is essentially a concrete/gravel parking lot. The park itself is beautiful with grassy fields running along the canal.
Max Tatton-BrownJuly 6, 2013Don't go to a gig here. The entire grass area is covered by standing crowd so if you want to sit and have a beer, you're on concrete. Rubbish compared to real LDN park gig venues.
Kurt HaaJuly 25, 2016Soulless park, it feels like an American park, full of retailing stores and unfinished construction everywhere
Manuel José Nascimento CoelhoAugust 10, 2014Lovelly place for an outdoor day! Good balance between greens and water!
Bethany OakeySeptember 12, 2014Complicated to get around with the building work, but still something amazing to see.
The south Park is now open offering closer views of the Olympic Stadium
Adam ŠafránekAugust 6, 2014Stadium is under reconstruction at the moment, better go back there few months later.- Ben RobraAugust 11, 2015Not the nicest park in London. Still seems like a big construction side with greenery. Has nothing against the more traditional parks.

"They have done a great job, fab place for children and plenty to see and do. But the park needs more food outlets & public toilets, everything in place at the moment is either full or hard to find!"

"Great swimming pool ! Also the cafe provides dietetic food, their hot homemade gourmet sandwich is really delicious!"

"Went on a Weds in December and had a fantastic afternoon. Blissfully free of crowds, amazing views out over the city and (despite being sceptical) the slide was a lot of fun too. Highly recommended."
