London Live: Victoria Park

Great idea but... The screens could be bigger, The sound could be a lot better The sound could ie be in sync between different screens (instead there was a constant echo) There could easily have been more than twice as many security people to reduce the 1h+ queuing time Also there could be a big screen in front of the entry to the park so people who were waiting for an hour to get in could at least see something of the show while standing in line waiting to be searched. Additional wireless networks could be put in place as there were problems with wifi and mobile connection in the park which were to be expected and could be planned for ahead of the events There could be more toilets and there could be better lighting going to the toilet was like going into a dark closet But overall the idea of having big screens where people can come together and enjoy the Olympics is a great idea it could just have been executed a lot better

Just a note - as other people have mentioned you CANNOT take own food and drink in - will be put in bin at the gates, unless you want to stand and eat it. Good day out though, listened to some great bands and had fun.

Does anyone know if the concert tomorrow will be on the screen for free please?

Probably go down to a big screen thursday and or Saturday

Ideal free venue - bring your own food and drink. Tons of ice available from the free Ice Station Zebras (real Zebras which is a nice touch) trotting all over the park.

My TV broke yesterday but lucky I live next to Victoria Park and so could nip in there (no queues) tonight and watch team GB win 3 Gold medals in the athletics, and also caught the end of a Soul II Soul performance. And all for free! I am not complaining.

Decent setup regarding screens but ridiculous that you can't bring food of your own. Instead have to pay inflated prices for mediocre fast food. As you can imagine beer is the same situation. Try city hall instead which has a large screen on the green and no restrictions

Very disappointing. Should be able to just rock up and watch with a picnic or whatever. Far too restrictive on entry (no food or drink allowed in), and then you queue 30 mins to buy food inside. Real shame as had been looking forward to this. The same thing at the Sydney Olympics was unrestricted.

Really good place to watch some of the Olympics with a beer. Few park benches as well, or grass to relax on and some good games for all. The fascists on the gate do not allow any food (or drink) which is a shame. Protecting extortionate places inside. Been also to Hyde Park Live and this is better

Is it any good? Would anyone recommend this stuff? Thx!
