The Olympic Stadium is seen from the balcony of the world's largest McDonald's restaurant in London's Olympic Park.
The newest McDonald's built at Olympic Park in London is the world's largest, and when the Olympics begin in July, it will also be the busiest.
The restaurant, which is one of four McDonald's to be situated within the Olympic Park, will have a staff of 500, seat 1,500 and serve up to 14,000 people a day.
McDonald's is the sole restaurant allowed to sell brand-name food at the London Games, and despite complaints by British doctors, the food choices will largely be the same as McDonald's fare around the world.
After the Olympic and Paralympic Games conclude the restaurant will be dismantled and all fixtures and fittings will be either reused or recycled.

Any "athlete" seen eating here should be removed immediately from the games!
When athletes like Micheal Phelps require over 12,000 calories a day to sustain their rigorous training schedules I doubt a Big Mac and fries will hurt them. Us couch potatoes on the other hand........................
I like the "dismantle" part of the article. A positive step in the right direction.
My goodness. Built for olypics and then tear down. The cost to host and be only food co allowed in olypic park, the building and mega cost to erect and design and build, all the outside material, seating, landscape and all. Mega millions and poof built for an event and then they dismantle it. Not much profit in McDonalds is there?
people got junk minimal wage jobs for 3-4 weeks--hoooray! /s
@!$%# McDonalds..... now... I would like a number 6 no onions, no mayo; large with a coke.
