I noticed this yellowish/greenish building appear some months ago and mistook it for a temporary venue for construction workers, like those near the Olympic Stadium. In fact it is the so-called View Tube, which:

“….is a social enterprise and community venue located on The Greenway adjacent to the Olympic Park. It was built using recycled shipping containers whose construction and installation was delivered by Urban Space Management.”

It is a great place to get a look out over the development site, take pix and visit the cafe. The infomation gives a good overview of the plans for the area, with maps and view-point descriptions, of where you can look out over the Aquatics Centre and Staduim.
