I was lucky enough to get a behind the scenes tour of the Olympic Park with the head planner from the Olympic Delivery Authority, and a bunch of planners and reps from major sponsors (me and Joe snuck in around the back)... not quite as impressive as some of the press shots, because access and security limited everything but here are some of the views.
Above - the power centre, turned out quite nice
Above - the media centre, 10 full size film studios over 1m sq ft of space. Unfortunately the elements which distinguish it from a warehouse are the cooling units for all the equipment (below) which will all be removed after the Games as it will be turned into standard office units.
Above - Berlin, 1947
The Pringle
Media Centre from afar
The centre of the site is taken up with a valley and gardens around the existing route of the River Lea
West Ham?
