A shot of the V&A East Museum by O'Donnell + Tuomey Architects under construction, just on the edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.

 

Taken during a London Flickr Group photowalk back in July, this was the first time I'd visited the area in a few years. It was good to see a busy. vibrant community has sprung up whereas other Olympic sites I've visited during my travels have generally been neglected and run down.

 

If you live local to London and you're interested in joining us for future photowalks then I'd recommend joining the London Flickr Group ( www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup ) and keeping your watching out for announcements.

From the V&A website, "One of the world's most significant new museum projects, V&A East will comprise two sister sites currently under construction in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.

 

Opening at Here East in 2024, V&A East Storehouse offers a new immersive experience, taking visitors behind the scenes and providing unprecedented public access to V&A collections. A short walk across the park, opening in 2025, V&A East Museum celebrates global creativity and making relevant to today’s world. Both sites are part of East Bank, the Mayor of London's £1.1 billion Olympic legacy project, which will create a new arts, innovation and education hub in Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park."
