East London and the Olympic Park Tour
From Central London, travel through London's East End - recently gentrified, fashionable, multicultural residential areas, scene of the medieval Peasants' Revolt, and once famous for market gardens, fine churches, textile, clothing, furniture and shipping-related industries. Hear a little of the dark side with stories of Jack-the-Ripper and street gangs.
Now into the 21st century, you arrive at the Olympic Park, already under construction. View the progress. Imagine the 80,000-seat Main Stadium, the Multi-Sports Arena, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome, Olympic Village, Broadcasting & Media Centre and Stratford City.

For those who have a whole day in which to see East London we recommend a morning East London and Olympic Park tour combined with an afternoon Olympic Greenwich tour.
