Daily Olympic Walk - Tour Description

The tour starts at Bromley-by-Bow underground station and finishes at Westfield shopping centre.

The route taken is mainly off the road, much of it along a tow path in the former industrial Lower Lea Valley. Your guide will then lead you to a footpath which goes alongside the Olympic park perimeter fence. From here there are views of the Olympic stadium and other 2012 constructions such as the Aquatics Centre and The Orbit. (Please note there is still restricted access to the Olympic Park).

Legacy plans for the future of the park are well under way and our guide will tell you about all the latest developments.

  • DURATION: 2 hours maximum. The route is approx. one and a half to two miles long, finishing at Westfield shopping centre where underground, restaurants and toilets are available. The terrain is mainly flat but can be muddy and there are ruts and bumps along the way.
  • GUIDES: All our guides are London Blue Badge Tourist guides – professionals who, in addition to the Blue Badge London qualification have undergone a training course for the 2012 games.
  • WEATHER: The tour will run, whatever the weather.
  • CANCELLATIONS: Please always check the Transport For London website (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/) to ensure that there are no engineering works in the area that may delay your journey. In the unlikely event we have to change the start venue of the walk for this or any other reason we will place an announcement on this website so please check before you start your journey.
