It will accelerate the most extensive transformation seen in London for more than acentury. Tens of thousands of lives will be improved by new jobs and sustainable newhousing, new sports venues and other facilities; all set in one of the biggest city centre parkscreated in Europe for 200 years. There will be a real and long-lasting legacy.

There is no greater honour for a city than hosting the Olympic Games – and we arepassionate to receive it. The UK has a proud sporting heritage, a love of all the Olympicsports and is the birthplace of a number of modern sports as well as the Paralympics. Ourbid, the UK’s fourth application in 20 years, to earn the privilege of hosting the Games wasconceived and developed by the British Olympic Association (BOA) and the sportingcommunity. It is backed wholeheartedly by the Government and the Mayor of London andhas overwhelming public support.

London 2012 fully embraces the ideals and traditions of the Olympic Movement. We willguard and respect them. We relish the opportunity to apply them in a unique and forward-thinking way to help create a better world through sport played fairly and in a spirit offriendship. Our goal is to help refresh and re-invigorate those principles for generations tocome. We look forward to having the honour of working in partnership with theInternational Olympic Committee (IOC) to deliver a modern Games in a world-class,vibrant city.

Every athlete will be able to stay in the Village, within 15 minutes of morethan half of the sports venues. Central London will be just seven minutes away via train.

Also at the forefront of the Games will be our most loved historic landmarks and parks andexisting world-class sports facilities. Such celebrated locations as Hyde Park and state-of-the-art venues such as the new Wembley Stadium will inspire competitors to achievepersonal bests. Working with the IOC, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) andthe International Federations, London will showcase athletic endeavour at its finest.

London’s energy will ensure an Olympic Games and Paralympic Games to rival the best.Our devotion to sport will guarantee full stadia, while our enthusiasm at live sports eventswill guarantee a passionate and friendly atmosphere. Our multi-cultural and multi-facetedarts and entertainment will add a unique and world-class backdrop to the Olympic festival.Our parks and open spaces will offer the chance to take the celebration to the public.Athlete celebrations and entertainment will be held every evening in Hyde Park to spreadthe Olympic festival magic. We will open our arms to welcome the world. And everything,from the Opening to the Closing Ceremony and all in-between, will be underpinned by theUK’s reliable and professional reputation – especially our internationally-acclaimedsecurity expertise – in staging such world-class events.

The Olympic Park will sit at the centre of 600 hectares of reclaimed land, featuring arevitalised network of waterways serving new communities and businesses that will be thestart of regeneration stretching out through East London and beyond. The legacy ofLondon 2012 will be enormous and tangible across all areas, from sport and venuesthrough to infrastructure and environment.

3. Public opinion

General public opinion in our City/Region/Country towards hosting the Games

London’s bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games enjoys theoverwhelming support of the public, both in the city itself and in the United Kingdom as a whole.

The bid has been the subject of an extensive consultation process since it was firstsuggested in 1997. The general public, businesses of all sizes and local councils have beenamong the many groups canvassed.

In December 2002 an independent nationwide opinion poll, carried out by ICM, confirmedthe strength of public support across all age groups and through every region of the UK.

Of the 3,200 asked “Do you think a bid should be made for London to host the 2012Olympic Games?”:

• 81 per cent said that they thought London should bid;

• 82 per cent in London itself supported the bid; and

• support was as strong across the entire country, with Northern Ireland (87 per cent) andScotland (84 per cent) the most supportive. Nowhere did the support fall below 75 per cent.

Business is also behind the bid, with 81 per cent of 300 businesses polled by LondonChamber of Commerce in January 2003 in favour of seeing the Games in London in 2012.Leaders of the business community in London have also written to the Prime Minister insupport of the bid. In addition, hundreds of individual businesses, ranging from small,family-owned firms to multi-national corporations, have voiced their support.

Other groups which have backed the bid range from grassroots community organisationsand trades unions to all of the Premier League football clubs and many other leadingsporting bodies.

It is understood throughout the UK that, after three unsuccessful bids from Birminghamand Manchester, the London 2012 bid represents the Olympic hopes of the entire country.

4. Government support

National, regional, local government and city support for the bid

The UK Government announced on 15 May 2003 its wholehearted support for London’sbid to host the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Prime Minster Tony Blair said:“The Government is delighted to give its full support to the London bid for 2012. Winningthe Games would be good news for London and for all of the UK.”

The Government and the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, have agreed on the fundingof the 2012 Games and a Memorandum of Understanding between the two has beenpublished. In a letter to the IOC Mr Livingstone also re-iterated his backing for the bid, andthat of the public: “The decision to bid has created an enthusiasm in London amongst allsections of society and across all ages.”

The independently elected 25-member London Assembly confirmed in November 2003 it“strongly and fully” backed the bid. The Association of London Government, whichrepresents the 33 councils in the city, described the bid as “a golden opportunity not just forLondon but for the rest of the UK too.”

Support is unanimous among the major parties at both national and city level. Thegoverning Labour Party said: “The whole Government has backed this bid... (and)everyone, from the Prime Minister down, will be working hard to make it happen.” Theopposition Conservative Party said: “We strongly believe that a London Olympic Gameswill bring incalculable benefits to this country in terms of investment, tourism,regeneration and, most of all, British sport.”

Jack McConnell, Scotland’s First Minister, is creating a group combining government,athletes, sporting bodies and industry to offer support to the London 2012 bid and ensurethat Scotland fully participates in the bid.

The Conservative candidate in the 2004 London Mayoral elections, Stephen Norris, said:“The Olympics will be a showcase for London that will advertise everything that is goodabout the capital to a massive global audience.” Liberal Democrat candidate Simon Hughessaid: “The Government’s announcement is the correct choice and will rightly be popularacross London and throughout the land.”

Government covenant and City and NOC guarantees

The UK Government is delighted to provide a covenant, as requested by the IOC, forLondon’s bid to host the Olympic Games. In giving this guarantee the Government has alsoconfirmed its ultimate responsibility for ensuring the safety and security of the Games andthat this is of the highest priority.

Letters of guarantee from the BOA and the Mayor of London are also provided with thisQuestionnaire Response.

Dates of any elections due in our City/Region/Country before election of the HostCity (July 2005)

A national general election must be held before June 2006, with the Prime Minister decidingthe precise date. Elections for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, as well asfor Members of the European Parliament in London, will occur on 10 June 2004.

6. Legal aspects

Legal obstacles to the organisation of the Olympic Games

There are no legal obstacles to the organisation of the Olympic Games and the ParalympicGames in the UK.

New laws to facilitate the organisation of the Olympic Games

UK legislation is capable of delivering the effective and efficient staging of the Games inLondon. Legislation is passing through Parliament to enable the National Lottery to raiserevenues after July 2005 for staging the Games. Further legislation will be introduced if itis proved necessary.

Legislation requiring a referendum

There is no requirement to hold a referendum in order to host the Olympic Games and theParalympic Games in the UK.

Existing laws that relate to sport

Individual sporting federations regulate their own sports in the UK. Their rules are notprescribed by Government, although legislation is in place to govern, for example, sports’funding, safety at sports’ grounds, commercial sports’ rights and other matters indirectlyassociated with sport.

The UK protects the legitimate rights and interests of the IOC by the Olympic Symbol etc.(Protection) Act 1995. This law grants exclusive powers to the BOA for the exploitation ofthe Olympic symbol, the Olympic motto and the words “Olympic(s)”, “Olympian(s)” and“Olympiad(s)”.

UK laws that combat doping in sport

The UK was one of the first countries to implement a world-class anti-doping programmeand is at the forefront of the international sporting community’s fight against doping insport. The current UK programme is overseen by UK Sport, a Government agency set upin 1996, responsible for funding UK’s elite athletes. In 2002 UK Sport produced the UK’sStatement of Anti-Doping Policy which has been adopted by all Olympic, Paralympic andpublicly-funded athletes, their governing bodies and the UK’s sports councils. The UK hasan IOC-accredited laboratory and each year UK Sport conducts more than 6,000 tests inmore than 40 sports. UK Sport also runs a comprehensive and up-to-date education andinformation programme for athletes about the importance of drug-free sport. The UK,through its Sports Minister, also took the lead in formulating the Council of Europe’s Anti-Doping Convention of 1989 and complies with its requirements and articles.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) agreement and application of an anti-doping code

In March 2003 the UK Government signed the Copenhagen Declaration recognising theWorld Anti-Doping Code. The BOA and the BPA have each signed up to the Code and UKSport is now working with sports bodies to agree a revised policy to comply with the Codeprior to the Athens Olympic Games. UK Sport’s current Statement of Anti-Doping Policyis in line with the International Standard for Doping Control which requires governingsports bodies to carry out a robust in- and out- of competition dope testing programme.The UK has met all its annual payment contributions to the WADA. The UK is also wellrepresented on the international anti-doping governing bodies.

7. Candidature budget

Funding of the Application and Candidature phases (in USD)

The UK Government and the Mayor of London have agreed to provide the principalfinancing for London’s bid and have committed up to $34m between them. In additionLondon 2012 anticipates raising a minimum of $14m from the private sector in either cashor value-in-kind, of which $5m has already been raised.

The bid budget anticipates total expenditure of $48m ($19m for the Application phase and$29m for the Candidature phase) over the period until July 2005.

(An exchange rate of GBP 1 = USD 1.70 has been assumed)

8. Games budget

Structure of the Games budget (private vs. public financing) and commitmentsobtained from our national, regional or local government and City authorities

The 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in London will be financed through acombination of private and public funding sources.

The UK Government and the Mayor of London have agreed a package that makesallowance for $4,040 million of public funding. This will be made up of $2,550 million fromthe National Lottery, including revenue from a new game to run from 2005, and up to$1,065 million from London residents, via a local tax. The remaining $425 million, ifrequired, will come from the city, via its development agency, the London DevelopmentAgency (LDA).

These figures were drawn from an initial study into the cost of hosting the Games. Thepackage is designed to cover the necessary capital, infrastructure and staging cost of theGames. The Government will also undertake the commitments required for the provisionof security, medical and other Government-related services at no cost to the LondonOlympic Committee for the Organising of the Games (LOCOG).

The Government will also be the ultimate guarantor of Olympic funding should there be ashortfall between Olympic costs and revenues. It will work closely with the LOCOG inmanaging the budget.

All public sport and non-sport venues required for the Games will be made available to theLOCOG either free of charge or at a rental cost to be pre-approved by the IOC. Proposedprivate venues have received letters of intent which stipulate that as a condition of thevenues being considered they should be made available to the LOCOG on a no loss/nogain basis.

9. OCOG revenue generation potential

THEME III: FINANCE

Expected revenue generation over and above the financial contribution receivedfrom the IOC

In addition to the broadcasting and TOP sponsorship revenues received from the IOC,London 2012 anticipates revenue of approximately $1,005 million from hosting theOlympic Games and Paralympic Games. This figure is believed to be a conservativeestimate, prepared in consultation with the BOA and international sports marketingexperts, and comprises:

Sponsorship/Official Suppliers $500m

Tickets $415m

Licensing $60m

Other Sources $30m

TOTAL $1,005m

All amounts are at current prices and it is assumed that all sponsorship revenue whichis raised in the form of value-in-kind will be budget relieving.

Corporate sponsorship for sports and events is very well developed in the UK and underpinsthe sponsorship budget estimates. In the second half of 2002 alone there were at least five newsports sponsorship deals each worth over $10 million per annum. Indeed sports sponsorshipin the UK is estimated to be worth more than $3 billion for a five year period.

London is home to many leading international companies capable of obtaining significantbenefits from a financial commitment to the Olympics and it has been assumed that a majorcompany from each of 10 product categories could provide an average of $30 million eachof sponsorship. Official suppliers whose sponsorship would largely be in the form of value-in-kind would likewise be able to obtain value from supporting the Games. It has beenassumed that there will be two tiers of official suppliers, comprising some 60 companies intotal, bringing the total domestic corporate sponsorship and official suppliers revenue to$500 million.

A detailed ticket model has been constructed to calculate the likely revenue from ticketsales. With help from international ticketing experts and knowledge of the local appetite forthe different sports, seat capacity utilisation and ticket prices have been estimated.Combining these with data on venue capacities and the events schedule has led to apredicted ticket sales revenue of $415 million.

As a large global city with a population of more than seven million and an annual influx of11.5 million overseas tourists, London can expect a healthy demand for licensed products.With reference to Olympic precedent and the specific characteristics of London and itstourist market, licensing revenue has been estimated at $60 million.

Other sources may include coin and stamp programmes, catering royalties and assetdisposal. Revenue from these sources has been estimated at $30 million.

10. Competition venues

Please refer to Chart I in the appendices

London 2012’s competition venues will highlight existing world-famous landmarks in theheart of the city, feature new world-class developments in the compact Olympic Park anduse nearby existing world-class sporting facilities.

All venue selection has been made according to the principles of sustainable developmentand driven by the legacy needs of both sport and the local community. Each venue has beenchosen according to a thoughtfully planned and appropriately costed post-Games use. TheParalympic Games will benefit from this compact and accessible venue proposal.

The new Olympic Park will house a combination of temporary and permanent facilities,including the permanent Olympic Stadium, aquatics centre and velodrome, all locatedwithin a seven-minute drive of the Olympic Village.

The state-of-the-art ExCeL exhibition centre will host boxing, judo, weightlifting, wrestlingand taekwondo, whilst across the River Thames the Dome will stage gymnastics and thefinals of basketball and handball. Directly south, on the line of Greenwich Meridian, is theWorld Heritage Site at Greenwich Park which will provide a uniquely stunning backdropfor the equestrian events and the final stages of the modern pentathlon.

Hyde Park, a short walk from suitable IOC hotels and Regent’s Park, close to mediaaccommodation, will form a scenic central London setting for triathlon, softball, baseballand road cycling. Beach volleyball at Horse Guards’ Parade will set a vibrant new sportagainst the historic backdrop of Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament.

Existing sports venues

Among the world-class venues which will be used are:

• Wimbledon, the world’s premier tennis centre;

• Lord’s, the home of world cricket, which will host archery;

• the newly-extended and improved Eton College Rowing Centre at Dorney Lake, Eton/Dorney, which will stage the 2006 World Rowing Championships; and

• the shooting ranges at Bisley, a venue in the 1908 and 1948 London Olympics andrenovated for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Outside London, Manchester United’s Old Trafford and Hampden Park, Glasgow, will beamongst the stadia used for the football competition.

Planned sports venues

The new state-of-the-art, 90,000-seat Wembley Stadium, which hosted both the 1948Olympic Games and the 1966 football World Cup Final, will be used for the finals of theOlympic football competition.

Additional sports venues

Additional sports venues will be at the heart of London’s Olympic Park. The OlympicStadium will stage the athletics and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the OlympicGames and Paralympic Games. The neighbouring new aquatic centre will cater for speedand synchronised swimming, diving and the finals of the water polo. A velodrome andBMX track, which will form the backbone of a legacy velopark, as well as a two-stadiumhockey complex, will be built a few minutes from the Olympic Village. A high qualitymulti-sport complex, made up of three new indoor arenas, will stage basketball, volleyballand handball. Seating capacities will be a mix of permanent and temporary builddepending on legacy use.

11. Competition venue locations

Please refer to Map B in the appendices

London will host one of the most compact, yet conveniently central, Olympic Games andParalympic Games. The new 200-hectare Olympic Park will house the Olympic Stadium,the Olympic Village, the aquatics centre, the velodrome and BMX track, three sports halls,the hockey stadia and the International Broadcast Centre/Main Press Centre. None is morethan seven minutes transport from any of the others.

With other existing venues in the immediate vicinity (the Dome, the ExCeL centre andGreenwich Park) and two new sports halls on the Greenwich Peninsula, 17 of the 28 Olympic sports will be staged no more than 15 minutes from the Olympic Village.

Yet the Games will still be at the heart of the city. Central London will be seven minutesaway from the Olympic Park by train, and its great central parks will be used to showcasemany sports. Historic locations such as Horse Guards’ Parade, Lord’s and Wimbledon willprovide a wonderful backdrop to the sporting action.

Venues outside of London – including Bisley, Weymouth Portland and Eton/Dorney – havebeen chosen for their world-class status in their sport.

12. Olympic Village and Media Centre

Concept for the athletes’ village and plans for its post-Olympic use

The Olympic Village will be built within the Olympic Park, adjacent to the Olympictransport hub at Stratford, and within walking distance of many of the venues.

A total of 16,800 beds will be available in one- and two-bedroom apartments in elevator-serviced blocks at eight storeys or less, with a further 1,000 possible. A main dining areawill seat 6,000 at any one time, with 24-hour service. A full range of further facilities –including internet cafes, games halls, shopping centres, a bank, Post Office, call centre,multi-faith religious facilities, cinemas and theatres – will be provided.

Vehicle access has been carefully considered to guarantee rapid movement for athletes andofficials to and from venues and training sites. There will be separate access points forOlympic Family, service, security and other vehicles. Parking for 1,000 vehicles will beadjacent to the main entrance, with back-up parking, for the fleet of shuttle buses. An‘internal’ dedicated transportation route connecting the Village to eight Olympic Parksports’ venues and the IBC/MPC as well as environmentally-friendly transport, includingcycleways, will be provided around the site.

The 35-hectare village site is presently available and designated for residentialdevelopment. The village will be designed to house competitors and officials in comfortand safety. Built as a sustainable long-term development in line with London-wide housingstrategies, it will have guaranteed legacy use as affordable housing for key occupationssuch as teachers and medical personnel. Outline planning permission is due by Spring2004, with development beginning 2008/2009 and completed by 2011.

Financing of the construction of the athletes’ village

The village will be funded as a joint public-private development venture as part of a largerredevelopment project.

Additional athletes’ villages and alternative accommodation

Every athlete will be able to stay in the Olympic Village. There will be a sub-village for thesailors at Weymouth-Portland. Athletes competing at Bisley, Eton/Dorney and SwinleyForest will enjoy additional secure accommodation, close to their event venue, should theychoose to use it. Competitors in the football tournament will be housed in four-star, andabove, hotels close to the various host stadia.

Concept for the IBC/MPC, financing and plans for its post-Olympic use

The IBC/MPC will occupy newly-constructed and linked adjacent buildings in the heart ofthe Olympic Park, within seven kilometres of 17 sports’ venues and only 17 minutes awayfrom the main media hotel area. The IBC (65,000 sqm) will be single level and the MPC(45,000 sqm) will be two-storey. The site will include space for parking areas, satelliteuplink equipment, production vehicles and storage.

The IBC/MPC will be less than three kilometres from Stratford station and alongside thefour-lane A11 road link giving direct access to central London and the main media hotelarea at Bloomsbury via dedicated media transport.

The IBC/MPC construction will be funded via public-private partnership, with post-Games commercial use as part of the area’s regeneration project. It will be completed a yearahead of the Games to allow sufficient time for a broadcast overlay followed by a printmedia fit-out.

The London bid is working closely with the BBC to understand the perspectives of abroadcaster with significant experience in Olympic coverage. We will look forward toworking with the IOC in close partnership with OBS and other broadcasters to deliverworld-class media facilities.

13. Hotels

Please refer to Chart II in the appendices

London has an exceptional range of accommodation, and capacity enough to cater for the11.5m overseas tourists who visit every year. Specific areas have been chosen to suitindividual needs of the Olympic Family.

London is fortunate to have a large number of hotel rooms. There are more than 70,000three-, four- and five-star hotel rooms within 10km of the city centre.

In addition there are a further 20,000 hotel rooms due to be built by 2012. Of these 4,000 arecurrently under construction and 16,000 have planning permission to proceed.

As well as the hotels in the capital, there are also a large number of student hostels and hallsof residence offering more than 6,500 rooms.

The IOC could select from a wide range of world-class hotels close to Hyde Park, central toall venues, and immediately adjacent to the evening festivals in Hyde Park. They will beperfectly situated in the heart of London’s West End.

The media will be accommodated at well-serviced central hotels in the Bloomsbury area.We are able to offer a wide range of accommodation from five-star hotels to student hallsof residence to suit all needs and budgets. They will be close to Olympic and public transitconnections to all venues. King’s Cross/St Pancras station is only minutes away fromBloomsbury and from there the media can be in the Olympic Park in less than sevenminutes.

International Federation technical officials will be located at suitable hotels near theirsports venues.

The hotel industry has warmly embraced and supported London’s bid to host the OlympicGames and Paralympic Games in 2012. We have received total support from Visit Londonand Visit Britain, the tourist authorities who have helped us with the accommodationstrategy, along with leading consultants in the hotel industry.

Concept for media accommodation

Hotels in the Bloomsbury area, traditionally the literary heart of London, will be home tomost of the media. Ideally located – both minutes away from the West End and its culture,shopping, restaurants and nightlife, and three main railway stations – it will provide aperfect base, close to the city centre and also well connected to all Olympic venues and theentire transport network.

The written and photographic press, as well as some of the broadcast media, will be housedin three- and four-star hotels, as well as smaller, less expensive accommodation, aroundBloomsbury. In addition, more than 3,500 places in university halls of residence in the areawill be used.

Bloomsbury’s layout, with its wide historic squares, will provide easy pick-up points forroad journeys to the IBC/MPC. All media will also be able to use their accreditations forthe seven-minute train journey from King’s Cross/St Pancras Station, within eight minutes’walk of Bloomsbury, to the Olympic Park.

Media who wish to stay elsewhere in London, or adjacent to specific venues, will have avariety of standards of accommodation to choose from.

15. Transport overview

THEME VI: TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

Please refer to Chart III in the appendices

London’s status as a world-class city is built upon its transport network. It has the world’sbusiest international airport and one of the world’s most extensive rail and undergroundsystems. It boasts one of the newest light railways built in recent years and innovativestrategic solutions, such as the congestion charge imposed on city centre drivers, to tacklethe transport challenges which every major city faces. Every day 20 million journeys aremade on London’s comprehensive and integrated system.

A massive investment programme is already underway which will see furtherimprovements in capacity and reliability. More than $30 billion is being spent in Londonbefore 2012, with roads, trains and the underground all due to benefit. The LondonUnderground alone will see more than $27 billion invested over the next 15 years. Thestate-of-the-art Jubilee Line, serving the main Olympic facilities, will be see a 45 per centincrease in capacity. A new $1.6 billion rail extension of the East London Line is planned.The existing Docklands Light Railway (DLR) will be extended. In addition, the high-speedChannel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) extension will cut journey times from the Olympictransport hub at Stratford to central London to seven minutes.

A budget of $765 million has been set aside for additional development for the 2012Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Capacity will be increased, particularly for keyOlympic routes, and services will be tailored to particular Olympic needs. Stratford stationitself, already the most accessible transport interchange in London, will be furtherimproved and upgraded. The result will be safe, fast and efficient transport, welcomingeach group of users and tailored to their particular requirements.

16. Air transportation

Main international airport for the Olympic Games, and reasons for this choice

London’s main international airport for the Games will be Heathrow. It is the hub ofEurope’s air transport system, with frequent services to more than 200 internationaldestinations. At present it has two runways, four terminals, 175 aircraft stands and acapacity of 64 million passengers per annum. The dedicated Heathrow Express rail linkcovers the 20km to London in 15 minutes, every 15 minutes. Passengers have the choice ofunderground, taxis and local public transport to reach other destinations around the city.

Heathrow is also undergoing a $10 billion investment programme which will see theaddition of a new, fifth terminal by 2008. It will add 42 aircraft stands, capacity for another20 million passengers per annum and new links to the Heathrow Express and undergroundservices. By 2012 Terminal Five will have a further 14 aircraft stands and capacity for afurther 10 million passengers per annum. Overall, Heathrow’s capacity by 2012 will be 94 million passengers per annum.

Other airports intended for use in the Games, their capacity, proximity andtransportation possibilities to the city centre

Stansted Airport is 35 km from London and serves 137 destinations. It has one runway, 80 aircraft stands (100 by 2012) and a 19 million annual passenger capacity (28 million by2012). A total of $2 billion will be spent on improvements before 2012. A dedicated expressrail service – the Stansted Express – takes passengers straight into east London, withexcellent onward connections to the Olympic Park. Stansted will play an important role inservicing both Olympic passenger and cargo traffic, especially as the airport is recognisedfor its expertise in handling horses due to its proximity to the renowned racing town of Newmarket.

Gatwick and Luton Airports are both major international gateways within 30 minutes ofcentral London (via dedicated high-speed rail links) and will play a support role for theGames. Between them, they serve 140 destinations and have capacity for 40 millionpassengers per annum. Gatwick has one runway, 105 aircraft stands (123 by 2012) and acapacity of 31 million passengers per annum (42 million by 2012). Luton has one runway,38 aircraft stands (60 by 2012) and 10 million passengers per annum capacity (20 million by 2012).

London City Airport is five kilometres from the Olympic Park with scheduled services to21 European destinations. It has one runway, 12 aircraft stands (17 by 2012) and a capacityof 1.6 million passengers per annum (3.5 million by 2012). The route to the Olympic Parkis served by frequent public bus services and, by 2006, an extension of the Docklands Light Railway.

In addition to air travel, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link will provide rapid and direct servicesfrom northern Europe to Stratford. The journey time from northern Europe will be two hours.

Outside London, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, and NewcastleAirports are convenient for Olympic football venues and offer scheduled internationalservices. Bournemouth Airport provides a convenient destination for the sailing events at Weymouth.

17. Transport infrastructure

Please refer to Map B in the appendices

Map B shows the location of the Olympic Park north of the River Thames and sevenminutes by train from central London. New and upgraded infrastructure routes, buildingon London’s existing and extensive public transport network, are highlighted in yellow onthe map and will meet the increased capacity needed for the Games. The most significantof these are:

• The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) running due east from King’s Cross St. Pancrasthrough to the continent. This brings the Olympic Park at Stratford station within sevenminutes of central London.

• The planned East London Line extension which runs north/south across the RiverThames from Dalston/Highbury in the north to Crystal Palace/Croydon in the south.

• Significant capacity increases on the Jubilee Line linking North West London throughCentral London to the Olympic Park in the east.


18

18. Transportation challenges

Transport challenges faced by London, and plans to overcome them

As with all major world cities, congestion is the most pressing issue for transport plannersand public alike. It only occurs on certain routes and at certain limited, peak, times. It isalso constantly being addressed by pioneering and long-term strategies such as thecongestion charge.

In addition over $30 billion is being invested across the system in London before 2012, withkey projects including:

• the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) which will provide a seven-minute link betweencentral London and the Olympic transport hub at Stratford;

• improvements to the underground’s Jubilee Line, also serving the main Olympicvenues, resulting in 45 per cent more capacity;

• and the overall deployment of the latest technology, from intelligent and integratedticketing systems to congestion charging.

Transport planners are already modelling all Games-time loads, deploying the expertisegathered from such huge mass participation events as the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002,to ensure world-class transport in 2012. An Olympic Transport Authority will be createdspecifically to oversee the entire Games transport system and guarantee its efficient andeffective delivery and operation.

Already it is clear that volumes during the Games period will be 20 per cent lower thanaverage due to the drop-off associated with the summer holiday period. In additionOlympic passenger flow will often be in the opposite direction to commuter use, furthereasing demand on the system. Because of the impressive scale of London’s existingtransport infrastructure, extra demand from the Games is expected to be no more than fiveper cent of normal London weekday travel.

Additional measures will be introduced to manage this demand and ensure it is seamlesslyabsorbed throughout the network without any decline in journey time or service quality.Among the specific and targeted initiatives which will be introduced are:

• an express rail service along the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) line betweenStratford and central London;

• an extended tube service for late night events;

• the introduction of a series of Park & Ride schemes at key locations around the M25London orbital motorway;

• and an integrated ticketing system, combining venue and transport access in one ticket,working in tandem with a public awareness campaign to ensure full use of all transportalternatives.

Measures to ensure safe, secure and efficient transport for the Olympic Family will also beintroduced. Among them will be:

• the introduction of Olympic arrival channels at Heathrow airport;

• dedicated Olympic lanes for vehicles carrying the Olympic Family;

• and the deployment of latest technology to ensure priority for Olympic Family vehicles.

20. Dates of the Olympic Games

Proposed dates of the Games and reasons for this choice

The Olympic Games will be held over the 16 days following the Opening Ceremony onFriday 27 July 2012 and the Closing Ceremony on Sunday 12 August. The ParalympicGames will be held from Friday 31 August until Tuesday 11 September.

The Games will span the height of the summer, when the warm, often sunny, clear dayswill offer ideal conditions for the athletes. Accommodation vacated by holidaying studentswill also be available for media, volunteers, security forces, and others. In additiontransport demand will be lighter than average due to it being the school holiday period.

23. Environment

Current environmental conditions

London is renowned for its parks and open spaces. In all two-thirds of Greater Londoncomprises green space and waterways, including 11,000 hectares (seven per cent of totalland area) used for sports. UK planning policies emphasise the protection of these ‘greenlungs’ and seek to improve their ecological and leisure value.

The River Thames is now one of the world’s cleanest city rivers, thanks to the enforcementof strict anti-pollution controls. Salmon are among the 118 species of fish now inhabitingthe river.

Likewise, air quality has improved as a result of regulation of vehicle emissions. London ison course to meet most UK and European air quality targets. In addition, London isworking towards CO2 emission reduction targets beyond Kyoto.

Ongoing environmental projects and their organisation

A broad range of governmental and non-governmental initiatives are being implementedacross a wide range of environmental themes, including waste and litter, air quality, energy,noise, biodiversity, green spaces and wetlands. Each of these themes is being integratedinto the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary masterplan for the redevelopment which willinclude the Olympic Park and the surrounding area.

Environmental impact of staging the Olympic Games

Environmental quality and sustainability will be the cornerstones of London 2012. TheOlympic Games and Paralympic Games will be the key catalyst to the most significanturban regeneration programme ever seen in London. The Olympic Park will form part ofone of the biggest new city green spaces in Europe for 200 years and create a legacy of long-term community and sporting assets set within a rejuvenated, accessible valley ofparkland, re-instated marshes and waterways.

A new ecopark will provide the first strategic and environmentally sound solution to wastetreatment in the Lea Valley. The state-of-the-art facility will contribute renewable energy tolocal communities, demonstrate more efficient use of resources and improve water quality.

In line with the IOC’s Agenda 21, London 2012 is developing a comprehensiveenvironmental and sustainability strategy to optimise environmental protection andenhancement opportunities. Key elements of the strategy will include measuring andmonitoring performance across a range of environmental and socio-economic indicators.

London 2012 will address climate change issues by optimising the most carbon-efficientchoices in the Games: use of public transport, rail and river freight; specifying non-polluting official car fleets, buses and service vehicles; energy efficiency in facility design,construction and operation. It will also seek to generate and use renewable energy, andcreate more green space, wetlands and wildlife habitat. Such actions will also run alongsidean Olympic environmental and sustainability awareness campaign and a long-termsustainable sport programme.

Environmental impact studies

Environmental impact assessments for Olympic projects are being carried out inaccordance with UK and European law as part of the process to obtain planning consent.

24. Experience


Experience hosting International and multi-sports events

The United Kingdom has welcomed the world to some of the biggest and most successfulevents of recent times.

Manchester 2002 was widely considered to be the best ever Commonwealth Games, with atotal of 3,679 athletes from 72 countries competing in front of 900,000 spectators. More than10,000 volunteers assisted with the smooth running of events across 17 sports and 38 venues, including the purpose-built City of Manchester Stadium.

In March 2003 Birmingham hosted what was acclaimed as one of the finest IAAF WorldIndoor Athletics Championships. A total of 618 athletes from 145 countries competed infront of a sell-out, passionate crowd of 20,000 and were watched by a global televisionaudience of 168 million viewers in 141 countries. IAAF General Secretary Istvan Gyulaisaid: “I have seen all world championships, indoors and outdoors, and we have neverexperienced more local support from the host city. This was an event for the entirecommunity and this is a key ingredient for us.”

Both are included in the list, below, of 10 recent international sports events successfullystaged in the UK.

International events such as Wimbledon, the British motor racing Grand Prix, internationalrugby at Twickenham, major soccer internationals, the international athletics Grand Prixand equestrian events such as Badminton, Burghley and Hickstead are staged successfullyeach year in the UK. In addition, several world-class events will be held in coming years,including the World Junior Sailing Championships at Weymouth-Portland in 2006 and theWorld Rowing Championships at Eton/Dorney in 2006; both will be venues for a LondonGames in 2012.

25. Security

Responsibility for security during the Olympic Games

The ultimate responsibility for security in London in 2012 will rest with the UKGovernment. A Governmental strategic group led by the Home Office and reportingdirectly to the Cabinet Office will ensure that security preparations are comprehensive andcomplementary, allowing the Olympic events and festivities to be enjoyed in a safe, secureand welcoming environment. London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) will overseeand co-ordinate all operational issues.

The United Kingdom, and London especially, has unparalleled experience and expertise inpro-active multi-agency policing. The MPS in particular has earned an internationalreputation for excellence in policing and securing major public events – a reputationunderlined by its key involvement in the seven nation Olympic Security Advisory Groupfor the 2004 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in Athens.

The MPS is developing an all-encompassing security plan, based around an international,intelligence-led approach. Crowd management, general policing and other measures willbe developed in line with public safety strategies that have been successfully used at eventssuch as Notting Hill Carnival and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.

The MPS will direct a single central command and control structure, reporting to theGovernment group. It will incorporate all the relevant agencies including the fire andambulance services, security and intelligence agencies, local authorities and private sectorsecurity staff. At its core will be the Olympic Security Command Centre, incorporating allof the above groups, where events will be monitored and actions co-ordinated according tonationally agreed protocols between the emergency services. Additionally, there will besatellite control centres at all Olympic venues.

All the command centres will fully utilise the security and command and control protocolswhich already exist and which have been developed and refined using the experiences andknowledge obtained from policing such a diverse and dynamic city as London. Theseprotocols will be reviewed and updated for the Games, but have clearly demonstrated theireffectiveness on numerous occasions in the past.

Provision of security resources for the Olympic Games

The resources of the MPS (currently 29,000 officers), regional police forces and other policingagencies, including the private sector, will be dedicated to maintaining a safe and secureenvironment for participants and spectators alike. Already MPS experts are giving specialistadvice to architects and masterplanners to ensure security measures are built in from thedesign stage. In addition, surveillance cameras, automatic number plate recognition systemsand intrusion alarms, as well as air monitoring, magnetometers and other state-of-the-arttechnological systems will be used in support of the security personnel.

The UK Government will also operate a secure and effective immigration control consistentwith our national and international obligations and will work with the LOCOG to enable theissue of the identity card to all entitled persons, as given in rule 66 of the Olympic Charter.

Provision of an effective single management structure for security

Existing legislation allows a single, integrated management structure. There is no need forany additional legislation.

Provision of new laws in order to achieve an efficient structure and operation

The Government will introduce legislation should further legal powers be necessary ordesirable.
