The American Society of Landscape Architects reports "George Hargreaves, FASLA, a leading U.S. landscape architect, is working with British landscape architecture firm LDA Design to create a $200 million, 2.5 square kilometer site for the 2012 Olympic games in London. One key goal of the project is to ensure the park will serve the community well once the games are over: Out of the 2.5 square kilometer site, one square kilometer will be transformed into permanent parkland."

It looks to me like a "purple smoke bush" Cotinus Coggygria.

It's never bloomed like my smoke bushes do so I'm inclined to think it's something else.
But, maybe it hasn't had the right conditions to bloom.
Thanks for the suggestion.

It's Euphorbia caracasana.

Happy gardening!
