During my latest trip to London, I ventured out to Stratford in Zone 3 in order to grab a ride on the Docklands Light Railway. By doing so, I not only got an idea of the vast scale of the 2012 Olympic developments, I also caught a glimpse (I think!) of the 11-mile blue wall which surrounds the Olympic Park. I just about managed to capture it in a photo from a moving train, it can be seen if the photo is enlarged.
Some better photos can be found in this superb blog post about the wall. The I first read about the blue wall in this article last year. The article is not dissimilar to the themes in a book called London Orbital, which - purely through observation of the most banal spatial developments - says much about our times.
