London Stadium - Added to Sporting Venues and Arenas in Newham, London

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Located in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London, the stadium had an impressive 80,000 person capacity and was one of the key legacies of our involvement in the 2012 Olympic Games.

It was - temporarily - the third largest stadium in Britain, but was most famous for playing host to the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the athletics and paralympic athletic events.

The venue was designed to be scaled down after the Olympics, to as little as 25,000 seats, when it became a new home for UK Athletics and since then, West Ham United, have rented the stadium from Newham Council.

The stadium is now a mixed-use venue combining sport, community and educational uses.

*** TOAL and control of flight within the boundary of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is FORBIDDEN (Bylaw made under section 164 of the Public Health Act 1875 by the London Borough of Newham with respect to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Bylaw 39 ***

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 18/04/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
