    The biggest urban park created in Europe since Victorian times. It's not just for the Olympics, it will be interesting to see how it develops after they are over. The wildflower meadows are very carefully thought through, the flowering period has been planned to for right now of course. Quite good how even amongst 100's of thousands of people there are very tranquil places with lots of seating:

          It's looking good considering the short time it's been planted and the weather has been in contention as well. As you say John it'll be interesting to see what it's like when it matures. :)
