Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park — Attraction in London

My first ever visit to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford E20, Friday 27/5/22 was a most enjoyable and interesting venture. A GREAT DAY EXPERIENCED! I made my way here via public transport from South - East London using TFL services into Stratford rail terminal. The journey in quick time - most reliable.👍 I obtained some very useful information at the Information Point, Endeavour Square, via beforehand a 10minute walk along Westfield Avenue from Stratford Station to reach.Thankfully, I collected the vital and useful information from the Information Point, and then ventured around the park in a steady five hours stay 10.00am to 1500pm in the most perfect weather conditions in May. I was totally impressed on the whole visit and so glad to visit this futuristic London park and sporting East London attraction. Ten years ago (2012) the world's Olympics took place in the LONDON STADIUM 🏟. The stadium has since, post World Olympics 2012, been the home ground of West Ham United F.C, a move the club made from their original stadium at 'The Boleyn ground' Upton Park, E6. Ten years on in 2022, endless building development, office buildings, retail outlets, and residential apartments of all modern architecture, continue rising and dominating the skyline around the E20 area. Today a different world and scene from the heavy traditional industries of the past have virtually all but now gone. However, relics and features remain with its four waterways, lock gates, and wharves as heritage and tourist attraction. Changing times in the world are evident here in this corner of London. I did a circular walk 'stroll around the Q.E. Olympic Park starting at the Information Point, Endeavour Square / Stratford Walks and along the wide walkways towards the stadium. Then I walked a circuit around the stadium 🏟 engaging via the Fountains Splash area, climbing wall (2012 gardens), Champions Place, the Olympic Bell, Carpenters Road lock, Great British Gardens and River Lea, the London Marathon Community track via a viewpoint look from Marshgate Lane. Finally ending at the Arcelor Mittal Orbit in Thornton Street. My route also negotiated the bridge from Endeavour Square/ Stratford Walks and ending and exiting out of the Park near to the London Aquatics Centre / 'the Podium' at Thornton Bridge. Additional viewing gained en route of the Waterworks River, City Mill River, River Lea, that all flow through the park.My final exit route via the flyover Montfichet Road, then homeward bound from Stratford terminal. Toilets and refreshments are at the Arcelor Mittal Orbit booking office by 'THE LAWN'. boat tours by the east bank in the Waterworks River by the East Bank. My praise goes to the efforts that have created this place and to the public events forever ongoing here at this relatively new London tourist attraction. When London puts a show on and showcase its efforts whether in art, music, sport, any other social event, even the debatable architecture on display - then Stratford E20 deservedly for my reckoning should be on the map as part of a London stage from a international tourist perspective. Rating on the whole of this 'INNOVATIVE' complex, A1,...

I’m getting more and more frustrated with this leisure centre. I take my daughter here for swimming classes. Firstly, I previously changed a lesson online for a bank holiday Monday. The online service said all done your next lesson is on this date. We come to the centre and reception says that there is an event. Still had to pay £1 for entering the car park. Next, we were going on holiday and I enquired about pausing lessons for the duration the lady sitting by the window who sets memberships up was rude and unhelpful. Can only change if you have doctors note. We said fair enough, whilst on holiday about 3 weeks ago, we went online to try change the lesson to the Sunday coming as we would be back and before our next flight could make it to that class. Online didn’t work. I raised a query on the website and till this day I have received no response. Tried to call and no answer. So this is 2 lessons already lost because this leisure center can’t do their job properly. Today I asked reception why I can’t change my lessons, they said it’s something to do with payments. But that’s not my problem right? There was no email nothing received to advise of this. Then I asked why is no one responding to my query online nor picking up the phone. There was one other person at the counter and me on the other side and 2 receptionists. They proceed to say “if it’s busy like this the phone doesn’t get picked up”

I think it’s ridiculous to make such a comment, it wasn’t even busy.

The family changing room, there’s about 5 cubicles. This is nowhere near enough for all the babies to get ready for their classes or quickly get dressed after class.

There is an aerobics class at the same time, and it gets extremely loud. Today especially there was school children, the aerobics class. It was chaos. We couldn’t even hear our instructor.

The only thing keeping us here is the instructor Sam who I can say is very good at her job. And how close the swimming pool is to us. But we will need to change pools if this carries on.

I’m really shocked and disappointed this is how the pool that held the Olympics is run. A bit of a shambles...
