Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

Located at Stratford in East London, this was the site of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

The ArcelorMittal Orbit.
Britain's largest piece of public art, it is an observation tower AND
a thrill ride with the world's tallest and longest tunnel slide.

A derelict industrial zone was transformed
in creating the Olympic Park.

The Olympic Stadium.
It can accommodate 80,000 spectators!

The London Aquatics Center.
Designed by famed architect Zaha Hadid, swimmer Michael Phelps
 won 4 gold and 2 silver medals here in 2012.

The stadium is now home to West Ham United Football Club.
