On July 6 London will find out if it has won its bid to stage the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Residents and visitors to the capital are being encouraged to see the proposed sites with a new walking guide.
2Walk the Bid” which has been produced jointly by five local councils, provides illustrated maps and information about existing landmarks, the Games and its venues and describes the 500-acre Olympic Park in the Lower Lea Valley of East London.
Three routes, from 5km in length, use the area’s network of heritage walks and public footpaths, linking the proposed Olympic village, main stadium and aquatic centre as well as the Millennium Dome, ExCeL centre and the equestrian venue in Greenwich Park. For a free copy of the guide, e-mail: walkthebid@newham.gov.uk.
