The Olympic Stadium

Posted on August 4, 2012February 24, 2017 by Ian C.

Today, our last day in London and at Olympic events, took us to the athletics stadium at Olympic Park. Once again, exceptionally good transport and security, and a spectacular location – though it can be hard to see the different athletics events around the stadium; we had good views of women’s pole vault and steeplechase, less good views of women’s heptathlon long jump and javelin, and men’s 100m heats (which did include Usain Bolt):

Amazing how much the Thames river tide changes, too!

London Docklands

Our final Olympic visit, tomorrow, to the Olympic Stadium suggested a stay at Hilton Docklands Riverside would be a good choice, so here we are, with a fabulous view across the Thames to Canary Wharf (which we visited, of course):
