    They have done amazing work on this area and there is so much to see and do in this area. There’s lots to see from swimming, football, shopping, and art. I would highly recommend exploring the area. You can use the Olympic aquatics centre to swim or dive, as well as visit West Ham football club too.

    Absolutely stunning area in East London. Plenty of green spaces and areas to exercise. You'll also find parks for children, cozy coffee shops ☕🥐, and cocktail places nearby. Essentially a gem 💎. Visit!

    Large area you can explore to see the site of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. There are a variety of sporting venues in the Park, and access around these might be restricted at times. There is a lot of building work going on and you may need to find diversions to get around.

    We rode bikes to the park. It’s also perfect to navigate around the park with the bikes. Children love playing in this adventure park next to the cafe. We had a picnic under the rings. The view from there is not so bad. I highly recommend it. There was a special event and this inflatable thing was hilarious!

    Good experience visiting here, the views from the viewing gallery are very nice. You can also pay more to use the slide to come back down. Would recommend it if you want to see London from high up.

    This was an Amazing place It includes everything right from cycling tracks to electric chargers The Olympic city was used in the 2012 Olympic Games (London) It’s a very big space and has amazing facilities for sports People go there for leisure as well as exercising There are many different spots designed with unique looks n facilities One side of the park is still undergoing redevelopment but the other side is still the same There is very good public transport services There are some shops/restaurants to eat n drink too I didn’t find any washrooms but I’m sure there would be a few of them ! The feeling is just amazing and for those who play sports, it’s an inspiration…

    Great stadium! Good facilities, £7.30 a pint a bit much, access to the stadium fantastic but coming away was very slow with crowds controlled with stop/go barriers etc. Would love to go see a football game there at some point but not West ham!

    Excellent venue. Attended the 2012 Paralymics and West Ham vs Bristol City in 2024. Brilliant London Stadium.

  • 5/5 Rhys H. 4 months ago on Google • 116 reviews
    Went up for my first Westham United game. Ground was amazing, the walk in to the area was good, the management was good. We didn't buy anything in there as it was very expensive so we took a picnic which was nice. We sat in the heavens which was a hike to get up there, stairs seemed steep, so if your not great at walking, or steep stairs don't get the cheap tickets at the to[ of the stadium. The crowd management after the game was great, made it safe to get on the tube as well, so nice to see this in action.

    Visited for Green day, amazing Venue. Massive grounds, prepare to walk between bridges for entrance gates, but worth it. Well laid out and plenty of helpful staff. Enough bars to cater for the large crowds and efficient layout.

    Great first time experience! Very impressive and very luxurious! Great seats for VIP tickets, however, a bit disappointing as there were no seats in the bar/lounge area.

    Great place to relax. A pub and a bakery shop there. Near to coffee shops and restaurants. You can just lay on grass and relax or have a walk around. Can't wait for warmer days to explore the area again. Very near to Stratford train station and next to West ham stadium 🏟

  • 4/5 William C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good experience! Well marked out with plenty of space to move around the stadium. Very clear and open tiered system for seating. The running track is a bit of a pain as feels like there's a big gap between the stand and pitch when sat behind the goal. The variety of food stalls on the perimeter are good, although obviously queues can get long. Toilets are clean and modern. Although we were stuck in a long queue of people when we left the stadium at full-time and it taking nearly an hour to get to Stratford Station, I can understand that it was for public safety and people were allowed to move forward in a staggered manner to de-risk any potential for people to be crushed. The closest underground station is easy to get to and is linked directly to London Waterloo. If going for a match or an event that is due to finish anywhere near 2130hrs and you've come from afar by train, I would advise you leave a little earlier as you may miss your last train. Do your homework. All in all I've got no complaints and happy with the experience.

    Went in the evening, catches the sun setting over the park. Kids loved the activities area especially the climbing wall. Spacious and very good balance of modern style blending with the park. Was well lit in the evening and crowd was a mix of young and old. Felt safe with the kids. Will be going again.

    Queen Elizabeth Park, located in close proximity to my residence, offers ample space and a N number of exercise facilities. It is an ideal park for families with children, who can enjoy its amenities. Notably, the renowned West Ham stadium is situated within the park. Taking a leisurely walk along the canal side and through the greenway provides an enjoyable route all the way to Victoria Park. A charming cafe situated behind the park serves as my preferred destination for socializing with friends over coffee or beverages.

    It’s a great escape outdoors with acres and acres of grasslands, plantations, deer herds roaming freely around the park. It’s just a stone’s throwaway from central London.Queen Elizabeth plantation is a must see. Photos below are taken in month of November

    Beautiful and relaxing Park with good, amenities for young children. Nice clean bathroom facilities with disabled access and baby changing room. The Cafe was closed but there was a local free music event taking place next to this with a variety of food stalls scattered around. The presence of appropriate levels of friendly security was a bonus. The nature Reserve is fantastic and gives you a sense of being at one in the country side. Although there were a number of other people around, this didn't compromise my personal sense of space. The views are breathtaking, especially at sunset. I'll definately be returning.

    An excellent day out hiking which started at The Queen Elizabeth Olympic park. The area has well defined pathways for both pedestrian and cyclists and is very well sign posted. There is an abundance of seating and the views over the whole area are spectacular. The various canals and footpaths and bridges are well sign posted and are a lovely place to stroll with friends and family. There are an abundance of manicured lawns, trees, and flowers and shrubs to enjoy. There is a large kids play area with numerous features such as climbing walls and frames. There are also boats and pedalos for hire on the canal for those who enjoy the water. An ideal location for a picnic, family day out with the kids or just a solitary stroll. The views of the old Olympic Stadium, The Olympic Swimming pool and the numerous high rise modern buildings make for great photo opportunities. A day out here is highly recommended.

    I went for the first time last Saturday and have fallen in love with this place! We visited a London 2012 jubilee exhibition in the velodrome then we hired bikes and drove all around the park, down to the Olympic (West Ham) stadium and along the river. The most beautiful scenery of river, ponds, marshland, wild flowers, and amazing walking and cycling paths; all surrounded by the tower blocks of Stratford. It felt surreal to be so close to the big city and still be in the midst of a vast countryside. If I could, I would move there..

    Come on you irons! Home to the best, goated team out there. Amazing form right now the atmosphere at home games is insane, highly recommend getting down there of you can. Easier to get tickets to European games at the moment, up the hammers. Nice place to see bubbles in London too.

  • 5/5 rob w. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing what has been done here since the Olympics, plenty to see, very relaxing and lots to do, plenty of places to eat, I just fell on this as I had time to kill when in Strafford, very pleasantly surprised, a relaxed part of London which I didn't think there was.

    Very lovely Stadium.Now the temporary home ground to the West ham football located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic park. Queen Elizabeth Olympic park knits a vibrant area of East London into a modern urban destination- redefining the historic industrial and creative heartlands of Stratford and Hackney Wick as an sustainable place to live, work, study,play and visit.

  • 5/5 Alan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere and a great place to watch football - especially as a West Ham fan. The views of the pitch are amazing. The ground is about a 10-15 minute walk from Stratford station, and you can visit the Westfield shopping centre if you go during the day. I wouldn’t even bother trying to park in the area, as is much easier by tube or train.

    Big modern stadium… Home of West Ham FC… about 10 minute walk from Westfield Stratford… A big West Ham store for fans to buy football merchandise… a must visit for west ham supporters and football fans…

    Great venue location and a 15 minute walk from the station. My first time at this stadium and my 12 to and I went to see the charity match between Sidemen and YouTube all stars. (Sidemen won 8-5)

  • 5/5 Schalker J. 5 months ago on Google • 49 reviews
    Einfach sehr schön und sauber. Muss man gesehen haben. Dort steht auch die längste Rutsche der Welt. Auch die Toiletten sind hier mega sauber. Der Park war mit ein Höhepunkt unserer Reise.

  • 4/5 elif a. 1 month ago on Google • 37 reviews New
    When you sit at the mid raws behind the basketball area it is impossible to see the scoreboard because of the industrial metallic cylinders and lights frames hanging on the ceiling. Only if you are sitting on the long sides of the pitch you can see everything properly. I don't know who to congratulate on this blow the construction engineer or the builders.. ruins the atmosphere when you try to see the score all match long during the basketball match!!! Other facilities were all right...

  • 5/5 Nina G. 5 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    My daughter bought my husband an experience day at the tallest slide in the land. Was a great day. My only thing to suggest is, I'm not great with heights, but I would have loved just to have been allowed to stand at the bottom of the slide to take photos. You can go in without doing the slide for £15, including going up to the viewing platform. I'm terrible with heights and so to pay £15 to stand at the bottom of the slide waiting for them was a bit much for me. So I had to wait outside the security fences for them.

  • 5/5 Beebee Giddings (. 3 months ago on Google • 23 reviews New
    I normally visit the park to have my lunch or go for a walk.. I like to listen to the birds and the bees and also feel the elements on my face as the park is quite open. You can enjoy the sun as well as the wind on your face. It's a very peaceful abd relaxing place when West Ham is not playing.

  • 4/5 Mantvydas �. 2 years ago on Google
    Kinda huge park with some nice, and unique environments. A nice place to walk and chill, with cup of hot coffee with your family or friends :)

  • 4/5 Raiy N. 2 years ago on Google
    Something for everyone! Shame there always appears to be construction happening in the vicinity, that affects the ambience, bringing it down to 4*. Good coffee too.

  • 5/5 Isabel J. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Adriany A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place. You can let your children run around. Has 2 playgroups near by. Has a coffee trailer. Has Orbitz near by. Just loved it.

  • 5/5 Chris G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely landscaped grounds left over from the 2012 London Olympic Games. The stadium is now West Ham football club. There are a few remaining facilities like the swimming pool. There are rivers running through the park with peddling boats for hire. It’s a nice elegant from the games and worth a wander about if you’re in the area or looking for somewhere to take your food from Westfield food court out to sit in the sun.

  • 3/5 Gordon R. 2 years ago on Google
    An amazingly huge stadium which has some problems. The stewardship needs to be tougher and tighter. Access is good however. Also as a visiting fan I was delighted by the friendship of the home supporters. I had to go searching for programme sellers, there needs to be more. Food outlets are plentiful, good and reasonably priced between stadium and Station. Well done West Ham!

  • 5/5 ubuntugraphy 2 years ago on Google
    This park is always fun to come to. I cycle through it all the time and the road is perfect for road and mountain bikes. The views are also beautiful, close to food, toilets etc.

  • 5/5 Daniel T. 4 months ago on Google
    A dream place for football lovers, a place full of history brought by tens of thousands of West Ham United supporters. A special place for special days in the lives of show lovers. Unmissable on Thursdays and Sundays where you will find exactly what you need!

  • 5/5 Gerry N. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 peter b. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to see my team play, great day out. The stadium has food and drink vendors. Toilet.seatin good great view of pitch, great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 israel s. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely stadium to say the least and stating the obvious. But besides being lovely the park is located in a semi-urban location. The river nearby, high grass, strange little animals. Therefore, the perfect suggestion is to combine a decent walking around and then, of course; attending in West Ham United home game.

  • 5/5 Mike D. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely landscaped areas and places to walk. Great play grounds for the kids. You would not know you're in London.

  • 5/5 Jonathan C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Simon F. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited the Velopark and had a go on the track. Absolutely fantastic experience and will definitely be going again. The coach kept the session lively and fun, and quickly helped everyone to overcome their nerves.

  • 4/5 G C. 2 years ago on Google
    A wet and miserable day kept us mainly inside Westfield shopping centre, but the Orbit slide beckoned. Not as fast as the 6 women before would suggest with the 40 odd second screams but an experience that the apprehension before outweighed the descent, but tick off the list. Nice desserts at Westfields😉

  • 5/5 dusty d. 2 years ago on Google
    Pricey food but eat in Westfields before and its not an issue. Great complex and home to the Mighty Hammers! If I were a player being shown around I'd definitely choose here over the £1billion blue replica of the Emirates on High Road N17

    Nice place for a short run. Maybe a 10k. You can run along the canal and there are toilets and a water fountain. I did 17k and shortly became a boring run. You also have Westfield shopping nearby.

  • 4/5 Abhinav B. 1 year ago on Google
    A good place to spend your evenings. If you are looking for some personal time, then I would say it's a perfect space. In the midst of nature, you can sense the calm and peace in the air.

    A nice peaceful place to walk for some exercise and a bit of fresh air as its not crowded but that's it really as all the amenities are closed.

  • 5/5 George H. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing and beautiful place to visit. Perfect for a. Ice walk, jog or cycle as there are plenty of paths. They are wide and are for mixed use with bikes. Great playgrounds for children too, and flower gardens to wander. Look out for key info from the 2012 Olympics as you wander.

  • 3/5 Fazl B. 2 years ago on Google
    The velodrome is top class and so is the outdoor circuit for cycling. Rest of the area can do with fixing it’s roads a little and maybe install little less violent speed breakers. Nice open areas and the park just outside the velo park is good for children to play at. Good walks from there towards hackney along the canal paths.

    Paths entering the park from the greenaway. One is narrow and cyclists and pedestrians use this path. Can be dangerous on busy days. It needs a clear rule of direction.

    Grate place for a walk, run or cycle. scotters and Rollerblades would hate it (just through them away and buy a skateboard) lots of facilities and the amenities are grate everything's a little pricey but you need that to keep all the pretentious shop owners fully topped up with the woke. Jokes aside grate place would recommend 👌
