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.
You can get there from the greenway:090922_view-tube-directions

Is the viewpoint open to the general public?

The last time I visited the cafe it was open to the general public to have a view over the park from the cafe downstairs and also to go upstairs to the gallery, as long as the gallery was not being used for a private session, e.g. educational talk or similar. Hope that helps.
