With the countdown under way for the start of London's third summer Games, the 2.5 square kilometer park in working class Stratford, one of Britain's most ambitious and costly urban renewal projects, now boasts all its main structures that will stage next year's sporting drama.

The Aquatics Center, which will officially open its doors in August 2011, joins the towering Olympic Stadium, the sleek-looking Velodrome, the multi-use handball arena and the enormous International Broadcast Center (IBC) which have changed the skyline of London's eastern approaches.
