Editorial Overview

About London Stadium

London Stadium is a multi-purpose outdoor venue in Stratford, originally built for the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics as the athletics site and for opening and closing ceremonies. After the Games it was remodelled to hold 66,000 seats and now serves primarily as the home of football club West Ham United, who became anchor tenants from 2016. UK athletics also use the stadium, hosting the annual London Grand Prix (part of the World Athletics Diamond League), sometimes called the London Anniversary Games. Visitors can attend Premier League football matches at West Ham United, or watch top-tier athletics events like the London Grand Prix. The stadium sits within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, offering the chance to experience the enduring legacy of the 2012 Games. Though not explicitly mentioned in the source, the venue likely offers guided tours on non-event days, allowing exploration of the athletics track and football pitch. Check the official schedule for upcoming matches and events.
