New public boat tours allow visitors to see the Park from a whole new perspective

Story 04/08/2014

There’s so much more to explore at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this summer as the Park opens its waterways for the public for the very first time.

Fully accessible boat tours will operate every day through the Park allowing visitors to experience its stunning scenery from a whole new perspective. Visitors will pass through beautifully landscaped parklands in the shadows of the iconic sporting venues of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, including the London Aquatics Centre, Copper Box Arena and the Stadium, all while learning fascinating facts about their surroundings and its future from a professional tour guide.

Boat tours will start from Stratford Waterfront near the London Aquatics Centre and will head north on Waterworks River taking in a number of sights including the Park’s gardens, venues and artwork. 

Tickets for the 45 minute tour cost just £8 for adults, £4 for children (under 3s free) and £20 for a family of four (2 adults and 2 children) and can be bought on the day from the boat operators Lee & Stort Boat Co Ltd at their pontoon. 

Tours will be running every day until 31 August subject to bad weather or adverse river conditions.
