Closing Ceremony - Any ideas of where to watch the fireworks....

[sunny jim]

without going into the Olympic Park itself? The whole of the Olympic Park is ticket only but I'd like to see the fireworks from nearby. Any ideas people? Ive heard something about Victoria Park, how far is that away?

I might head down to Mabley Park off Homerton High Street - good view of the stadium from there

Hackney Wick area?
I know someone who lives there and she said the fireworks in the opening ceremony were tremendous. Not sure how much she could see though.

Free Festival all day at Victoria Park and a good view of the fireworks

Vicky park is very close to the stadium, but tree lines may ruin your view of the fireworks???

I saw the fireworks from my home in Clapton, and it looked and felt as though half the sky had exploded .

Who says there'll be fireworks? It's all been going too well thus far, so I'm expecting it to end with an hour long live episode of Eastenders.

Apparently the same people who did the 2012 new years fireworks have got the contract to do the closing ceremony. With a bigger budget.

When is it?

Sunday night - starts about 9.00pm or thereabouts so fireworks 10.00 or 11.00pm maybe

Cool by me. Bring a tin of beer, and a piece of fruit-cake.

Will the ceremony be anything like the opening ceremony or will it just be parading athletes and the Spice Girls feat. Gary Barlow or some shit.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Suspect it will be a celebratory smugfest.

Probably this.
