London Stadium History

Originally built as the centrepiece venue of the London 2012 Olympics in the Olympic Park. London Stadium is now home to West Ham and UK Athletics.

Initially the UK Government wanted a stadium that could be largely dis-assembled following the Olympic games but during the early discussions West Ham approached with the idea of contributing to the development of a multi-purpose stadium. The design of the stadium was revealed in November 2007 and construction began in May 2008. The main construction was completed in March 2011 and the athletics track was laid in October 2011.

There were several potential tenants of the stadium upon completion of the Olympic Games from across Cricket, Football, Rugby and Baseball. Tottenham Hotspur were exploring a new stadium and submitted a joint-bid for the London Stadium.

The bid we now know as the winning one, came from Newham Council and West Ham United. West Ham were quickly established as front runners to win as they dropped the opposition to keeping the running track in place. They also agreed to a £100m conversion that would take the stadium from the 80,000 all seater Olympic Venue to a 66,000 multi-purpose venue for the long term.

Tottenham Hotspur and Leyton Orient, the latter being geographically closest to the new stadium, submitted requests for review after West Ham were eventually selected to take over the stadium. Leyton Orient in particular claimed that the proximity to their club was a breach of F.A. rules. After a series of dates in court nothing ever came of the reviews and Tottenham were finally granted permission for their own new stadium. Funny that.

In addition to football the stadium continues to host other events, including the 2017 World Athletics & World Para Athletics and the 2018 Athletics World Cup
