What's gone up whilst I've been away?

As previously mentioned, I've been travelling in Asia for a couple of months, so I was keen to get out to see what had changed whilst I was on the other side of the world.

Preparations are being made on the Eton Manor / Hackney Marshes side, west of the Velodrome, which I believe is going to be a warm-up area.


The Olympic Village (left) and Basketball Arena (right) have shot up...


...but it's good to see the Ropey Pub on Leyton Road is still there! (albeit with a large amount of Olympic Village casting a shadow over it).


The Stadium (left) is structurally all there (from the outside, at least), but work continues on the Aquatic Centre, and there looks to be a new bridge going in in the foreground.
