Continuing with photos from the London Flickr Photowalk to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Hackney Wick back in July, here's the reconfigured Olympic Stadium, now home to West Ham United. Not much has changed in this view from 2012 except the river was full of algae, presumably as a result of the excessively warm weather. My pseudo-IR post-production has highlighted this and I was in two minds whether to tone this down.

If any of you have photos of the buildings of the London 2012 Olympics it would be great if you could could and add them to the London 21012 Architecture group I started back in the day..... www.flickr.com/groups/2115878@N21/
From Wikipedia, "London Stadium (formerly and also known as Olympic Stadium and the Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park) is a multi-purpose outdoor stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the Stratford district of London. It is located in the Lower Lea Valley, 6 miles (10 km) east of central London. The stadium was constructed specifically for the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics, serving as the track-and-field venue and as the site of their opening and closing ceremonies. Following the Games, it was renovated for multi-purpose use, and it now serves primarily as the home of Premier League club West Ham United.
Land preparation for the stadium began in mid-2007, with the construction officially starting on 22 May 2008. The stadium held its first public event in March 2012, serving as the finish line for a celebrity run organised by the National Lottery. Holding 80,000 for the Olympics and the Paralympics, it re-opened in July 2016 with 66,000 seats, but with capacity for football limited to 60,000 under the terms of the lease. The decision to make West Ham United the main tenants was controversial, with the initial tenancy process having to be rerun."
