London Olympics 2012
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be held in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012, followed by the 2012 Paralympic Games from 29 August to 9 September.
This will be the third time London has hosted the games having also done so in 1908 and 1948. Discover more about the history of London Olympics.
The 2012 Olympics will take place in a host of new venues as well as using existing and historic facilities. Many of the new facilities will be reused and the plans are part of the regeneration of Stratford and Lower Lea Valley in east London. More Olympic venue information.
The London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games is charged with running the games following the success of the bid and is chaired by Lord Coe. Construction of the venues and infrastructure is in the hands of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA). See our Olympics Structure and Finance page for more details.
The London 2012 Olympic logo has created considerable controversy and the spiralling cost of the games is likely to be a ongoing problem.
