London 2012
The Olympic and Paralympic Games has been billed as the
greatest show on earth.
Taking place in east London in 2012, it
represents a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for
residents to be involved in, and witness first hand this truly
momentous global occasion.
Pierre Du Coubertin, Founder of the Modern
Olympic Games, and temporary resident of Tower Hamlets when he was
in England conceiving the idea once said: “Holding an Olympic Games
means evoking history.”
The Games haven't
started yet, but you only need to look east towards the Olympic
Park and the changing skyline to see how the Games are already
contributing to shaping the history of this area.
