Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - Standing

Now the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are over, the Park is closed while work is underway to transform it into London's newest destination. It will open to visitors from July 2013, with the first residents moving into East Village in late summer 2013.

Getting to the Venue

Stratford Station is London’s third most connected station, with 9 rail lines and 195 trains per hour.

Situated just a short walk from all the facilities, it makes Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park very easy to reach from central London. It's just 7 minutes from Stratford International Station to Kings Cross St Pancras and 15 minutes to Bank from Stratford Station. International trains are planned to stop at Stratford International in the future.
