Firm Appointed to Plan Future of London Stadium Site
What happened
A global design firm has been appointed to examine opportunities for the land surrounding the London Stadium and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The firm will work with the London Borough of Newham to determine how the stadium and the wider campus can evolve into a leisure-led, mixed-use destination. This effort aims to create sustainable long-term value from the publicly owned site, while also considering public realm improvements across the area in London.
