2012 Games

London Councils strongly supported the bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and very much welcomed the announcement on 6 July 2005 that London was to host the 2012 Games.

• London boroughs' contribution to 2012
• Our policy work around 2012
• London Councils 2012 Grants programme
• Local Benefits from the 2012 Games

The 2012 Games will have a huge impact on our communities, creating jobs, improving London's transport infrastructure and giving a huge boost to tourism and related sectors. They will also bring world class sporting venues, provide thousands of volunteering opportunities, a four-year cultural festival and enhance London's global reputation.

London boroughs have a vital role to play in securing these benefits and ensuring the successful delivery of the Games. London Councils will be working to ensure that potential opportunities are maximised and the benefits of hosting the 2012 Games are spread across all of London.

The Olympic and Paralympic Games are a fantastic catalyst to make improvements across all areas of life in London; we will work with the boroughs to achieve this.
