Planned London Olympics site

Planned London Olympics site, aerial photograph. North is at top. This image shows the area in East London, UK, around the River Thames, where most of the stadiums and facilities will be built for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. The main Olympic site (the Olympic Park) will be in Stratford (upper left) and along the Lower Lea Valley, and lies on a line running northwards from the Millennium Dome (white, on River Thames, near centre). The area, in 2005, is mostly industrial estates and wasteland that will, by 2012, be developed into sports arenas and the Olympic Village. Other Olympic venues will be the ExCeL centre (by docks at centre right) and Greenwich Park (lower left)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph showcases the planned site of the London Olympics in 2012. The image, taken in 2005, captures the area in East London around the majestic River Thames where an ambitious transformation was set to take place. What was once a landscape dominated by industrial estates and wasteland is now destined to become a hub of sporting excellence and innovation. At the heart of this grand endeavor lies Stratford, depicted in the upper left corner, along with the Lower Lea Valley. This region will serve as home to the main Olympic site known as the Olympic Park. Stretching northwards from here is a line that leads us towards another iconic landmark - the Millennium Dome, situated near the center of this snapshot. The photo also highlights other key venues integral to hosting such a monumental event. The ExCeL Centre can be seen nestled by docks towards the center-right section while Greenwich Park graces us with its presence on our lower left-hand side. This image not only portrays an exciting glimpse into what would soon become one of history's most memorable Summer Olympic Games but also serves as a testament to urban regeneration and progress. It symbolizes how neglected brownfield sites can be transformed into vibrant spaces that bring people together from all corners of Europe and beyond for moments of triumph, unity, and celebration.
