Such a mixed-up station name. It is a cross between Pebble Mill and Pudding Lane. I wonder what would happen at such a venue?


Yes, it's a pity they didn't take the opportunity to rename it with
the re-siting. The old Pudding Mill Lane is hardly an important
thoroughfare, so some sort of Olympic Park-related name might have
been better for the large new station.

Incidentally, here's a panorama shot I took from the existing small
station of the large new station under construction in July 2012, just
before the Olympics:

And here's one I took a year ago, from the Orbit tower:
