It's probably as close as your author will get to the park for some time, having been thwarted in trying to buy tickets for both the Olympic and Paralymic Games, and whilst it is clearly not as finished as Boris makes out, the scale of it all is pretty amazing.
It's a shame you have to walk through acres of tedious shopping space and ask about five members of staff to get here, but that didn't deter a coach party of happy pensioners who had come to see the park, and were pleasingly dismissive of the shops. Just a shame a better camera wasn't to hand.

When seeking out 'Robert' last week, I inadvertently stayed on the DLR 'til Straford International (exciting journey in itself). Lo and behold John Lewis staring me in the face. Might avoid too much contact with the other shops. Of course I didn't know of the viewing area then, so thanks.
ReplyDeletePS 'Robert' currently heavily fenced in near Stratford Station.
