Gaze up, make games, take photographs, put artists, international and local, yourself in their shadow. to create an ambitious, diverse art programme that reflects the Park’s identity as a place for people from around the world and around the corner. Some of these artworks are large and striking, while others are smaller and harder to find. All of them were created specifically for this Park by contemporary artists who worked closely with the architects, designers and construction teams to develop and install their works. Their inspirations are varied: the undulating landscape, buried histories, community memories, song titles, flowing water, energy, ideas of shelter and discovery. Yet all of them are rooted here, each of them sparking new conversations with their immediate environment and this richly textured part of east London. “The trees mark time, the rings 2 3trace landscapes and lives that HistORY TREES have gone before.” Ackroyd and Harvey Ackroyd and Harvey British artists Ackroyd and Harvey created a series of living artworks to mark the main entrances of the Park.

  • Waterways Framework Olympic Legacy Waterways Framework Foreword 3
    OLYMPIC LEGACY WATERWAYS FRAMEWORK OLYMPIC LEGACY WATERWAYS FRAMEWORK FOREWORD 3 Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park straddles a previously hidden and derelict network of waterways known as the Bow Back Rivers. Shaped and adapted for over 1,000 years, these 6km of canals and rivers are finally re-connected to England and Wales’ 2,000 mile inland waterways network owned by the Canal & River Trust. They now lie at the heart of one of the biggest regeneration projects in Europe. Across the country waterways are playing a vital role in revitalising our cities in an attractive and sustainable way. The restoration and transformation of the Bow Back Rivers through London’s Olympic plans and through the construction of Three Mills Lock has created a living legacy for London’s people and wildlife, and will form the backbone for a world class water city. The Olympic Legacy Waterways Framework developed by the London Legacy Development Corporation in partnership with the Canal & River Trust looks at how the rivers’ potential can be unlocked so that they are not just a visual backdrop to the surrounding developments, but a leisure and commercial resource in their own right. This strategy expands beyond the 6km within the Park to encompass the River Lee Navigation from Three Mills Island to Hackney Marshes and the lower end of the Hertford Union Canal – a length of 11km in total.

LOWER LEA VALLEY OPPORTUNITY AREA PLANNING FRAMEWORK | i FOREWORD I am delighted to introduce the Opportunity Area Planning Framework for the Lower Lea Valley. The Framework sets out my vision for the Valley, how it could change over the next decade, and what that change would mean for residents, businesses, landowners, public authorities and other stakeholders. It builds on the strategic planning policies set out in my 2004 London Plan for an area of nearly 1450 hectares, extending from the Thames in the south to Leyton in the north, straddling the borders of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The Lower Lea Valley is currently characterised by large areas of derelict industrial land and poor housing. Much of the land is fragmented, polluted and divided by waterways, overhead pylons, roads and railways. My aim is to build on the area’s unique network of waterways and islands to attract new investment and opportunities, and to transform the Valley into a new sustainable, mixed use city district, fully integrated into London’s existing urban fabric.

The route crosses a number of watercourses ranging from minor brooks to substantial main rivers. There are concerns that the proposed works may increase the potential for flooding at the crossing sites and in surrounding areas. There are also concerns that the Crossrail route may itself be affected by flood events at the crossings. Flood Risk Assessments have therefore been carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in the Government Planning Policy Guidance Note 25 (PPG25). These have been set out in this report, with the exception of Pudding Mill Lane (Route Window C13) where, because of the extent of the works proposed within watercourses, a more detailed Flood Risk Assessment has been carried out and is reported separately. In carrying out the required Flood Risk Assessments, reference has been made to the ‘Flood Map’, which is shown on the Environment Agency (EA) website as of 7 October 2004, and is the primary source of publicly available flood risk information.

  • Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Skipper's Guide
    Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Skipper’s Guide BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Known as the Bow Back Rivers, this historic network of waterways was transformed in the build up to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games as part of a major investment and clean-up programme. The six kilometres of rivers in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park were once a key transport network for the industries that lined the river but the decline of canal freight after the Second World War, together with a build-up of silt, saw the rivers become virtually un-navigable and derelict until they were eventually closed altogether by the 1960s and declared “remainder water” with no potential for commercial or leisure use. This all changed with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The waterways were to become the green veins of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and a massive restoration and clean-up operation was put into effect. In summer of 2017 marking the final phase of 10 years and £60 million pounds worth of investment the Bow Back Rivers re-opened to public navigation and boats now regularly cruise the stadium loop round London Stadium. CARPENTERS ROAD LOCK RESTORATION Built in the 1930s Carpenters Road Lock was once a proud and busy hub of east London, but fell into disuse during the 1960s with the decline of London’s industrial era. The Trust has breathed new life into this historic lock which now rightfully stands at the heart of London’s newest urban park. Canal & River Trust alongside key partners, Heritage Lottery Fund, London Legacy Development Corporation and Inland Waterways Association have invested £1.8 million in the restoration of Carpenters Road Lock which stands in the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
