[edit]Naming
The IOC has a number of majorblue-chipsponsors for the Olympics, who are entitled to have their nameexclusively associated with the event. As a consequence, any other company that provides sponsorship is not
permitted to use its name or branding during the games, which includes as part of the name of any venue. As a
consequence of this, three Olympic venues are temporarily renamed for the duration of the Games:
The O2 Arena North Greenwich Arena
Sports Direct Arena St James' Park
The Ricoh Arena City of Coventry Stadium

TheOlympic Village, with accommodation for all athletes and team off icials (some 17,320 beds in total).
After the games the village will become a district of theStratford Citydevelopment, a multi-billion pound
development project on the former railway goods yard to the east of the Olympic Park. (Accredited
technical officials referees, umpires, etc. are housed in hotel space inLondon Docklands).
The Olympic Press and Broadcast Centres.
The original plan called for the construction of five new indoor arenas, four in the Olympic Park, and one in the
River Zone (see below). In order to save money this was reduced to two. The existing venues at Earls Court
and Wembley Arena were added to the plans, and various sports were shuffled around to make this possible.
The construction of the Olympic Park itself commenced in 2006, with Murphy Group awarded the contract to
remove the powerlines which crossed the site and relocate these into a tunnel to be dug beneath the site. Civil
engineeringcompanies Morrisons and Nuttalls were appointed to undertake the demolition and land
remediation works, under the project management ofWS Atkins. The pace of this speeded up with the closure
of the roads crossing the Olympic Park in June 2007. The construction phase of the Olympic Park is being
managed by CLM, a consortium comprisingCH2M Hill,Laing O'RourkeandMace. This consortium is officially
titled Delivery Partner, ODA. The earliest construction of venues commenced in April 2008 with the start of the
main build on the Olympic Stadium byMcAlpine, with the nearby energy centre to be constructed byEDF
Energy. Work on the Aquatics Centre began later the same year. During the construction phase the workforce
on-site is expected to peak at 9,000 operatives.

In the initial plan for the River Zone, a temporary 6,000 seat capacity facility to be called North Greenwich
Arena 2 was to have been built alongside the O2 to host thebadmintonandrhythmic gymnasticsevents.
However, the cost led to alternatives being suggested, eventually leading to the cancellation of the arena and
the transfer of its planned events toWembley Arenainstead.[15]

[edit]The Olympic and Paralympic village
Main article:East Village, Stratford
The village has 17,320 beds and provide each athlete with 16 square metres (170 sq ft) floor space.
There are 3,300 apartments
Each apartment has a TV, internet access, and a private courtyard.
The dining hall caters for 5,500 athletes at a time.
Difficulties experienced by developersLend Lease[34]
in raising funds for the village (the single largest project in
the 2012 scheme) resulted in the scale of the village being reduced by almost 25%.[35]
This was achieved
predominantly by providing accommodation for London-based athletes only. Those competing in events
outside London were to be housed elsewhere. Following the athletes' experiences in Beijing 2008 (and in
particular through comments concerning athletes' welfare by International Olympic Committee
PresidentJacques Rogge) this compromise was to be reconsidered whilst pressure built for the finance deal to
be resolved.[36]

TheOlympic Javelinservice
Stratford station
Public transport, an aspect of the bid which scored poorly in the IOC's initial evaluation, has seen numerous
improvements, including the expansion of theEast London Line, upgrades to theDocklands Light Railwayand
theNorth London Line, and the new "Olympic Javelin" service. It is almost impossible to assess how many of
the proposed improvements would have happened in any case. The games were won without a commitment to
deliverCrossrailby 2012. This is the largest transport project proposed for London, and it was widely assumed
in the early stages of the bidding process that the games could not be won without a guarantee that it would be
completed before the games.
During the games, 80% of athletes are within 20 minutes of their events and 97% are within 30 minutes of their
events. Together, all the plannedNational Rail, light rail, and underground services (excluding Crossrail) are
expected to deliver around 240 trains every hour.[37]
[edit]Further details
93% of training venues are to be within 30 minutes of the athletes' village.
The aim is for 90% of venues to be served by three or more forms of public transport.
There are two majorpark and ridesites off theM25with a combined capacity of 12,000 cars, within 25
minutes of the Olympic Park.
There are 9,000 planned park and ride spaces to be made available at Ebbsfleet where spectators can
board a 10-minute javelin service to the Olympic Park. This is the same station where continental
spectators traveling by Eurostar join theOlympic Javelinto the Olympic Park.
It is predicted that on event days 78% of spectators are likely to travel from within London and 22% from
the rest of the UK and Europe.
Organisers estimated that 80% of visitors and staff of the Games would use rail services to reach the
Olympic Park.
Low or no-emission vehicles are used to transport Olympic athletes and officials.

[edit]Changes to the original bid
Regent's Parkwas planned to host thesoftballandbaseballevents, but the IOC chose not to run those events.
Windsor ParkinBelfast,Northern Ireland, was included as a football venue in the IOC questionnaire submitted
in 2004, but excluded in the final candidature file.
On 7 June 2006, a revised masterplan for the Olympic Park was announced. The most significant change was
the relocation of thevolleyballevents from a new Olympic Arena to the existing venue ofEarls Court, which is
several miles to the west. The revision also involved the re-organisation of the park shuffling
theBasketball,Cycling,Fencing,TennisandField hockeyvenues in addition to the Press and Broadcast
Centre. This move was designed to remove the need for the relocation of 80 businesses and to provide a more
coherent legacy for the sporting venues.
Another change was the relocation of thebadmintonandrhythmic gymnasticsevents toWembley Arenain
north-west London, instead of a proposed new venue nearThe O2 ArenainNorth Greenwich.[citation needed]
Two venues to be developed outside central London have been also relocated from the original bid sites.
TheBroxbourne canoe venuewas marginally re-sited following the discovery (in October 2007) that the
proposed Spitalbrook site was contaminated,[38]while in February 2008 theWeald Country Parkwas deemed
insufficiently challenging for elite mountain biking. It was announced in August 2008 that the revised venue
would be atHadleigh Farm, also in Essex.
In August 2009,Villa Parkwas withdrawn from the list of venues for the football competition, due to uncertainty
overAston Villa's redevelopment plans for the stadium, and was replaced byRicoh ArenainCoventry.[39]
