The brand new facilities rising from the ground in the Olympic Park are living proof of a very old adage: good news is no news.

The total redevelopment of what was a neglected brownfield site into a new beacon for sporting excellence appears to be running as smoothly as the Swiss rail network.

The result is that most people have heard very little about incredible Park progress. continue reading this article

Every day on my way to work I’m lucky enough to pass the Olympic Park construction site. My train nudges past the future VeloPark before swinging round the Olympic Village and into Stratford. If I squint, I can see the bowl of the Olympic Stadium reaching into the sky.

Each morning brings a new visual development and it’s genuinely exciting to be able to keep daily tabs on London’s changing skyline from the safety and warmth of a train compartment.

But what these fleeting windows of opportunity don’t offer is information on what’s going on underneath the Olympic Park site. And that was the reasoning behind attending the recent London 2012 Archaeology Programme evening at Stratford Circus. continue reading this article

There’s not a lot that a balmy, summer night in Singapore and an overcast day in Stratford have in common - apart from being staging points on the 2012 journey.

Last Friday was the halfway point between London winning the bid and the Olympic Opening Ceremony on 27th July 2012. continue reading this article

One of the best things about working for Seven46 is the magnificent view of the Olympic Park you get from our Stratford offices.

The ever-changing landscape is a constant source of inspiration as we go about our day-to-day business – writing, editing and designing publications for our clients in international sport, government and regeneration. continue reading this article

It’s hard not to notice the massive changes taking place in Newham at the moment.

There’s the new Olympic Park site next to the huge Stratford City complex, right on our doorstep. Down the road, in Canning Town and Silvertown Quays, projects are under way that will provide 14,000 new homes. Oh, and there’s the Thames Gateway project – Europe’s biggest regeneration scheme. continue reading this article

It didn’t seem like it at the time, but one of the moments of my time at Beijing 2008 came when one of Team GB’s greatest hopes bombed out right in front of my eyes.

Shanaze Reade  was supposedly nailed on for a gold medal. She had shown massive determination and skill to come through the BMX rounds and semi-finals, in spite of falls in both. continue reading this article

Seven46’s Stratford offices fell silent, then exploded into joy this afternoon. At 3.15pm, the team downed tools to watch our hometown heroine Christine Ohuruogu storm to victory in the Olympic 400m final. continue reading this article

Not even the sleepiest Stratford commuter could have failed to notice two big changes at the station in recent days.

The first - a gaping hole at the entrance to the Jubilee Line - is evidence of major improvement works taking place ahead of the 2012 Games. continue reading this article

Cycling is big news right now. Not least at Seven46, where Svein has returned from his two-wheeled conquest of the legendary Col du Tourmalet - a 7,000ft mountain beast on the route of the Tour de France.

Svein, who is sane in most other respects, set out with 9,000 amateur riders to complete one of the hardest stages of the world’s most famous - and famously gruelling - bike race.  continue reading this article

As modes of transport go, the canal boat can hardly claim to set pulses racing.

But, when its route is the waterways of east London through to the site of the 2012 Games, a narrowboat is as spectacular as any supercar.

And that was the case at the weekend when a series of tours left Limehouse Basin for an unusual journey via canal up to the Olympic Park site. continue reading this article
