Do I take it from your comments that the idea is that ViewTube is a permanent fixture, re-opening post-Games? I always assumed it was temporary.
If I'm boring you, do come back in October.

Ive watched all the building work going on from the windows at the back of my house and am looking forward to a trip up the Orbit which now dominates the skyline, I have not yet seen the whooping great floodlights on the warm up tracks illuminated in the evenings but I am assuming that they will also be flooding my garden with light, but ive not got long to wait now to find out. |

More sodding Olympics? |

"My camera appreciates your culpability" is a truly great sentence. I may steal it for an album title. |

Cheers for that DG - really enjoying the on-the-ground updates. Hope to get back there before the ViewTube shuts its doors.

If you think you're likely to miss the excellent bacon rolls from the View Tube cafe, then their sister establishment The Counter Cafe isn't too far away in Hackney Wick. Nice view of the stadium, too - although it's recently been spoiled a little by some ugly temporary buildings. |

Yes David, more sodding Olympics.

I too was an Olympic sceptic. But I've just visited today - blue-badged tour and all - which did not go to the View Tube, but finished outside John Lewis - so we own-account extended it thither. Have to admit to reluctant conclusion that maybe the bid wasn't such a desperately bad idea after all, and the legacy, clean-up and buzz just might be worth all the squillions and jams. (Or it might not). Anyway, please DG go on blogging whatever catches your eye, and I will remain a fan for ever! |

You say the View Tube will go quiet again after the Olympics, but won't the Greenway continue on past the building, or does it go down along the canal? |
|
The View Tube's always been on a Greenway dead end, with the footpath diverting earlier to duck down beneath the railway. And the next stretch of Greenway is closed, courtesy of Crossrail, for at least another two years. |
