EastTwenty Bar & Kitchen EastTwenty Bar & Kitchen is open every day and is on hand to serve you breakfast, lunch or just a snack. The dishes are inspired by the East End, made from seasonal produce and locally sourced where possible. The EastTwenty Bar & Kitchen is in The Podium at the base of the ArcelorMittal Orbit.
Parklands and playgrounds The Park’s 111 acres of open space include gardens full of flowering plants, broad meadows and intricate wetlands. Gardens and meadows that thrilled visitors to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, like the exotic terraces of the 2012 Gardens, sit alongside newly planted areas such as the Canal Park, each designed by world-class landscape architects and planting experts. Each area of the Park has a different character – from the wide, restful green spaces that border the River Lea in the north of the Park, to the modern pleasure gardens of the south of the Park.
