Riverside paths

Riverside paths
Following periods of heavy rain, the paths closest to the River Lea, especially in the north of the Park, can be prone to flooding. This is a natural part of the Park’s role as a flood basin for the housing in the Lea Valley. Please be careful near the river when water levels are high or paths are icy, and follow signage or instructions from staff if paths are closed. Never attempt to walk across frozen water.
Photography, Filming & Drones
Crowd filming and photography may take place on the Park and in its venues if authorised in advance by LLDC, both on event days and while the Park is in general use. These images may then be used to promote the individual event, or Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and its venues.
Filming and photography at the Park is authorised by the Events Team who should be contacted at least ten days in advance at film@londonlegacy.co.uk.
Drones
General use of drones and remote-controlled flying models is not permitted on any area of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Only commercial drone activity can be permitted and requires a 1 month notice period to assess and turn around applications. Applications can be made to film@londonlegacy.co.uk and must conform to CAA standards for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle flights together with the Air Navigation Order 2009.
You can find out more information on drone filming within the Park via our filming guidelines here.
