You're also just 7 minutes from St. Pancras International, making it a brilliant add-on to a wider London day out.
After your adventure, explore everything Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has to offer - including the London Aquatics Centre, the Lee Valley Velopark, and a great selection of food and drink at the nearby Riverside East restaurant.
