Work began on the 80,000 seater Olympic stadium on 22nd May 2008 and was completed in 2011.   

The architect Populous, a firm specialising in the design of sports facilities and convention centres, created the award wining design.

The stadium cost an estimated £486m to build.

Both West Ham Utd and Tottenham Hotspur have submitted bids to take over ownership of the stadium following the Olympics.  As yet the future of the stadium is still to be decided.
