Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in London, United Kingdom, is a sporting complex built for the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Paralympics, situated to the east of the city adjacent to the Stratford City development. It contains the athletes' Olympic Village and several of the sporting venues including the Olympic Stadium and London Aquatics Centre, besides the London Olympics Media Centre.
The park is overlooked by the ArcelorMittal Orbit, an observation tower and Britain's largest piece of public art. It was simply called Olympic Park during the Games but was later renamed to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II,〔(Games Site Renamed the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park ) BBC News, 7 October 2010; Retrieved 12 May 2012〕 (though it is not an official Royal Park of London). The park occupies an area straddling four east London boroughs; Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. Part of the park reopened in July 2013, with a large majority of the rest (including the Aquatics Centre, Velopark and Orbit observation tower) reopening in April 2014.

The site covers parts of Stratford, Bow, Leyton, and Hackney Wick in east London, overlooking the A12 road. The site was previously a mixture of greenfield and brownfield land, including parts of Hackney Marshes.〔( Protest stirs in troubled east – Paul Kelso in The Guardian February 15, 2005 ) date accessed: 30 October 2006〕
The Royal Mail gave the park and Stratford City the postcode E20, which had previously only appeared in the television soap opera ''EastEnders'' for the fictional suburb of Walford.〔(Olympic Park To Share EastEnders' Walford E20 Postcode ) BBC News, 19 March 2011; Retrieved 12 May 2012〕
