Park in Progress, with the London Legacy Development Corporation

Last Thursday members of our new Islington Older People's group and the Senior BEE's got a preview of the visitor experience at the ArceloMittal Orbit at the Olympic Park on a 'Park in Progress Tour'.

We donned hard hats and high vis vests and hopped on a bus for a short ride from Pudding Mill Lane to the Orbit.

It was pretty chilly up there, but the platforms offered amazing 360 degree views of London.

This visit was arranged for us by the London Legacy Development Corporation
