London Stadium sits in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, England. It was built for the 2012 Olympics and today serves as a venue for a wide mix of events, from top-flight football to major concerts and athletics.
What to expect
The stadium is the home ground of West Ham United, so a match day gives visitors a chance to experience the Premier League crowd and its noise at close range. The venue also stages big concerts and athletics meetings, so the programme on any given visit may look quite different from one season to the next. Check what is scheduled before you travel, as access depends on the event.
Around the stadium
The stadium is only part of the visit. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a large green space with waterways and gardens, well suited to a relaxed walk before or after an event. Nearby, the ArcelorMittal Orbit, the sculptural tower built for the Games, rises above the park and makes a clear landmark to head towards.
Combining a match, concert or event with a stroll through the park makes for a full day out, whether you come for the sport, the music or simply the open space and the views of the Olympic site.
