As debate over the 2012 Olympic Stadium's legacy continues, and whether it can be used by West Ham for football or by the Essex county cricket side, BBC Sport's Frank Keogh toured the area near Stratford, east London, to view progress. Photo: London 2012
Walking tours, with a 'blue badge' official guide, take members of the public to the site via a nearby canal towpath, which gives a snapshot of how the area will be transformed over coming years
More than 17,000 athletes will be able to stay at the Olympic Village, which is within walking distance of the main stadium and will provide a plaza where competitors, family and friends can meet. Photo: London 2012
Work on the main 80,000-capacity Olympic Stadium is said to be three months ahead of schedule while the Aquatics Centre - which can be seen in the distance on the right of this picture - will cater for 17,500 spectators for events during the Games

Work is also progressing on the east London cycling venue, the VeloPark, where several of Team GB's main gold medal hopes are likely to be in action. A glass wall between the lower and upper tiers of the velodrome will give spectators panoramic views
With more than two years to go before the Olympics start, the stadium exterior already dominates the area, while discussions on its use afterwards carry on
Lighting towers will shine down from the top of the stadium, which will house 25,000 seats in its permanent lower tier and a lightweight steel and concrete upper tier holding a further 55,000 spectators
Canary Wharf and the regenerated docklands area cast a dramatic backdrop when looking across London from the Olympic Park
