Should there be a thread for this? I kind of thought that as things get completed maybe pics could go here

There's the London Stadium development thread, which is full of construction photos, and isn't dedicated solely to the Olympic venues, so it's nice to have a new thread just for London 2012.


For those who don't know, London's Games is split between a large new Olympic Park in East London - most of whose venues should be completed this year - and well known venues across London like Wembley and Wimbldeon. There are also events outside of the capitial, like the football tournament which is nationwide, and the sailing events which will be on the south coast.

Here's a more full account of what you'll be seeing in just over a year....


Olympic Park: (u/c)

I posted a lot of new construction photos in the stadiums thread a week or so ago, so for those who want to see the progress of the main Olympic Park, here's that post:
