Olympic Legacy

I wandered around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park last week, and although it still looks well maintained, I couldn’t help thinking it was a rather sad and forlorn place.  Granted it was the evening when I strolled around, but despite the lure of a Rio Olympics Fan Zone, there were very few people about, enjoying time out from their busy lives. The arena looked very different with its West Ham wrapper and the aquatics centre and velodrome didn’t seem to be busy (if they were open). I really hope I was mistaken and it was just an untypical “quiet night”.
