Hoy! What's that building over there?

[Aperitif]

The Olympic Velodrome, London.

 

[Piemaster]

And very nice it is too

 

[marinyork]

Got any real photos of it with Davywalnuts wandering past or is it still a mud whole in the ground?

 

[Aperitif]

None of Davy unfortunately Paul...that would be a Thighcling Thtadium...I'm sure everything will be just fine.

 

[Over The Hill]

Is it made of wicker?

If you view it from the correct position, Lloyds looms large in the background

with all the conjecture surrounding the main stadium, it is good the the velodrome is complete and will stay as a lasting legacy to the people of London and the sport of cycling.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

It's a really beautiful building. But given the natural curvaceousness of a cycling track, you would imagine that a velodrome would be a difficult thing for an architect to **** up... (although I am sure there are numerous examples).

 

[Paulus]

If there is ever a chance, I wouldn't mind a go at cycling round the velodrome, I have never had a go at a track, but I would relish the chance.

unless i miss the sarcasm then the only thiong looming behind it looking towards lloyds is the Media Hubm, a building designed by the work experience kid in the architects office at 16.50 on his last friday.

have some good puics of it rising out of the park

I was in Stratford a couple of weeks ago and I thought I'd have a look at the velodrome while I was there - but I kept on cycling into worksites and the area's surrounded by some pretty unfriendly roads for cycling and never managed to get a look at it. Is there anybody with local knowledge who can recommend a good vantage point?
