Four words* that make my blood race. Hasn't yet been discovered . And hand on heart, if you just want postcard London this one's probably not for you. But if the sightseeing equivalent of Granny Bonds isn't your thing, well, step this way.

Ok, it isn't a helicopter arrival with 007 and Her Majesty . Comes a close second, though.* Because the wonder of it is still there. There in the spiky white steel stadium.
