Lee Valley VeloPark

The Lee Valley VeloPark is a modern indoor velodrome situated in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. It was constructed as a primary venue for the 2012 Olympic Games. The facility is easily accessible via public transit and serves as a hub for both community and competitive cycling.

The high-speed, 250m track was designed by renowned track designer Ron Webb. The wooden track is made of highly durable Siberian Pine and is meticulously banked to allow cyclists to maintain incredible speeds. Webb's track designs are famous worldwide for their use in Olympic competition.

Yes, the velodrome offers "Taster" sessions where members of the public can rent a track bike and ride on the actual Olympic track. These sessions are heavily supervised by certified coaches who teach beginners the basics of riding on a steeply banked velodrome. It is one of the few Olympic legacy venues that allows amateur cyclists to ride the same surface as the pros.

The velodrome is primarily utilized for competitive cycling events, including UCI track racing and British Cycling National Championships. Beyond indoor track racing, the facility also features an outdoor road circuit and a mountain bike trail. It hosts events ranging from elite international World Cups to local community youth leagues.
