London 2012 Olympics

The London 2012 Olympics, officially known as the "Games of the XXX Olympiad", will be held in London this summer. The Opening Ceremony will take place on 27th July, and the Closing Ceremony will be on 12th August, at the Olympic Stadium. The Stadium is situated in the Olympic Park, but other venues will be used for different competitions and games, for instance Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena, the Wimbledom All England Club, the Lord's Cricket Ground and the O2 Arena. The Paralympics will be held from 29th August to 9th September. So, summer seems the best time to visit London this year! 
The one-eyed mascots of the London Olympics are called Wenlock and Mandeville and they look like robots. This video tells their story: 


There is also a digital clock in Trafalgar Square which shows the countdown for the Olympic Games, but if you are really curious, would like to keep updated and want to have a look at the Olympic Park through webcams, check this link: www.london2012.com
