The race of champions? That'll fill the Olympic stadium every week.

Re: Last event at the Olympic stadium...
Tickets are already on sale for the 2016 Anniversary Games 22 - 24 July so she ought to do her research better!

Just been
I am afraid to say the stadium, and indeed the whole area, is a total dump. Crap, unfinished look about the stadium, no local pubs (although dull chain restaurants).
Really deflated this evening.

Tucked into a 1970′s style block, this was not an appealing pub at all. Keep walking and cross the road we reckon!
Not really that old!Ye Olde Black Bull – Cnr Broadway and Burtons Court E15 4BQ
Over the road from the Langthorne is this large corporate style pub with large TVs. An acceptable option if in need.
Queens HeadQueens Head – West Ham Lane E15 4PH
Large sports pub, a little better than the rest around. We expect this to be busy during the games due to ease of access to the station. Not a bad option.
Princess of WalesThe Princess of Wales – 25 West Ham Lane E15 4PH
A bit of a run down band pub, hosting comedy nights. Looks rough from the outside but is quite pleasant inside. Not one to cross town for, but a better option in this area.
Didn't look too far , did you cd ?
I've drunk in all of these and they beat the pubs around The Boleyn Ground hands down (apart from The Black Lion in Plaistow).

Re: Last event at the Olympic stadium...
If you think the Olympic Park and Stratford is a "total dump" I dread to think what you think about Upton Park. It just goes to show that the billions spent on the Olympic Park and Westfield doesn't go far!. As for local pubs look in Stratford as suggested by Rockerton. To his his list you can add the King Edward VII.Claretdave wrote:Just been

As for the stadium, well it is unfinished. With more to be done on retractable seating, new track, new pitch and, that horrible phrase, the "West Hamification' of the stadium.

Re: Last event at the Olympic stadium...
work a stone's throw from the big beast on the other side of the canal. quite enjoy the walk to the dlr along the greenway on the way home at night. bi polar mix of bombsite chic old warehouses, sci fi neon lit skyscrapers, giant mounds of earth on desolate brown field lands.
feels like something out of blade runner, the furthest thing in my mind from west ham though.

Sounds a good walk BD. Does it pass that wonderful Victorian pump house?Beavis Danzig wrote: blade runner
Any idea how long it takes to walk from West Ham station along the greenway to the stadium?
