I was actually wondering only a little while ago if the capital's bloggers ever met up with each other, and, if so, how they might, er... react to each other.
As someone who hasn't been able to visit the actual site, here's something that I found recently, that was enough to bring a smile to my easily pleased face.
I was walking the Thames Path and was happy to find that the cafe at City Hall is open to the public (subject to passing a security check at the main entrance). As you take the walkway down to the cafe, you pass a huge photo map of London laid out on the floor, like a giant panorama from Google Earth.
There aren't many features marked out on it, but some of the locations they have highlighted are the various sites that will be the Olympic venues, and where they lie in relation to each other.
If you can't get to visit the real thing, I'd say the map makes a fair try at showing what it all looks like, down on the ground.
(In addition to which, the cafe is pretty good as well)
I like comparing your updates with Google Earth as it shows the "before" view, (but the Street View got there a little too late)!
I agree with CornishCockney: the before-and-after comparisons are fascinating in these posts.
This stadium is now starting to look like every other technological biscuit tin stadium the world over.
Zip all design references to the place it is in.
Bring back Archibald Leitch.
