The construction site is vast. Basically the Olympic Park itself is bigger than Central Park - but then theyre also adding a new CBD alongside. There will be a main transit hub (Eurostar, rail, tube and bus), plus the biggest urban mall in Western Europe (along with many open air shopping streets), and a new borough centre with 13.5 million sq. ft of offices. Also a main mosque for East London (capacity 12,000) to be added later.


some of the area plan outside the park:

Wow when you see it from above it really makes me think "who could be arsed to even think where the hell to start" What I'm really amazed at is the railway lines throughout the site, do you have a map of all the lines?
