The Grade II-listed QEII stadium in Enfield, North London, has been officially reopened following a £3.5m redevelopment project.

The venue's athletics facilities were upgraded this summer, finalising a phased revamp which began in 2011.

QE II, which is the home ground of Enfield Town Football Club, now has a new six lane track, two long jump/triple jump strips/pits, high jump and shot put areas and improved changing rooms.

Funding for the works came from Enfield Council, the Football Foundation, the Mayor of London and the London Marathon Trust.

Councillor Achilleas Georgiou, who officially opened the stadium with London 2012 Olympian Margaret Adeoye, said: "This stadium is an important element in Enfield's Olympic Legacy and will help us find the next generation of Olympic greats.

"It has a rich history of hosting Olympic champions, with Linford Christie, Daley Thompson and Sebastian Coe all having graced this track and we want as many people as possible to dust off their trainers and come down here and take part."
