The View Tube seem to have missed an opportunity by closing over the whole festive break - if that was my project I would have opened every day and then, if I really needed a break, closed this week once most people were back at work/school.


DiamondGeezer - Thanks for linking to one of my pictures in this article, always an honour...

I went on one of the free bus tours in November. Well worth it. Call 0300 2012 001 although they are often booked up weeks in advance.

NINE quid for a 'daily walk' tour by a blue badged guide! Really? What can they show you that you can't see for yourself by taking a walk around the are for free ... not convinced by that one, I'm afraid.

I may lose my Value Witch status for saying this... but, in my experience, Blue Badge guides are worth every penny, if you don't know an area, or haven't got a personal DG/print-out of every Olympic post DG has ever written.

I Spy the first Olympic ticketing cock-up of the year.

Somehow, the article suggests that there are enough spare tickets sloshing about in real sports to compensate everyone who has been double booked.

I was sorely disappointed with the View Tube. Having come to London for a visit, then making a special trip from one side of London to the other, we managed to spend 2 minutes atop before they shooed us out beause a college function was booked for the classroom there. There were only about 10 of us there, no young children. I'm sure we could have viewed and left without disturbing the class, had we been allowed to. :((

I can fully understand that families disappointment.

A few weeks ago I veered off the main path near the ViewTube to look at some of the original foliage they have kept near the Stadium. This was still in the public access area.However I had a large rucksack with me and was then stopped by Met Police as I crossed the Old Ford Lock. They then did an identity check. So expect your activity in this area to be monitored by CCTV.Don't look too suspicious!!

The 'Western Spectator Entrance' security barrier has since re-opened. seems to have been just closed over Winterval.
