A steel loop designed by Turner Prize-winning artist Anish Kapoor is to be built at the heart of the Olympic Park, Johnson said yesterday.

The £19.1 million (€21.m) project, complete with viewing platform, spiral staircase, lift and restaurant, will stand 22m taller than the Statue of Liberty and be sited between the showpiece Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre.
