The Cafe In The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

The cafe in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is all new.

It is run by a company called Unity Kitchen, who have this as their mission statement.

We have a strong social and environmental purpose; we create jobs for people with disabilities, make good food affordable for local people, and run our business sustainably.

They did have a gluten-free cake from a company called Sponge.

The cafe was busy, but it probably needs a few more days to get its systems working better.

Visiting The New Park

I finally, got to view the new Queen Eizabeth Olympic Park yesterday.

It is obviously not finished by any means, but it is impressive.

It also opens early in the morning at 06:00 and closed fairly late.

I travelled to the park, by getting a 588 bus from Hackney Wick, to the stop by the Copper Box. At present, the information on the bus isn’t working in the area of the park, but I suspect it will be in a few days.

An Attempt To Find The New Olympic Park

On Monday, I attempted to find the new Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which the BBC announced had opened.

After a very unwelcoming walk from Eastfield, I found the entrance and it was crawling in security, who said it opened later.

Information and maps were also a bit lacking about the buses, but eventually I got a 588 to Hackney Wick, from where I got a 30 home.
