The 2012 Summer Olympics (the Games of the XXX Olympiad) took place between 27 July 2012 and 12 August 2012. The London 2012 Olympic bid was announced as the winner of the bidding process on 6 July 2005, following unsuccessful bid attempts for previous Olympics by Manchester and Birmingham. Team GB finished 3rd with 29 Gold medals, and 65 total medals, representing their best medal haul since London first hosted the Olympics in 1908.

Even if you was one of the lucky ones to even buy a ticket that got you inside Olympic Park, the huge big scrrens could possibly the best place to watch the games! Yes seeing it live it great, taking in all the experience but sitting on your sofa at home is the front row seats and the best seats you could ever get.

The 2012 Summer Olympics made London the first city to have hosted the modern Games of three Olympiads. London is the only city in the United Kingdom to have ever hosted the Olympics; the United States is the only country to have hosted Summer Olympics on more occasions than the UK.British participation in Olympic events, both as a competitor and as a host, is the responsibility of the British Olympic Association.

The ArcelorMittal Orbit is a 115-metre-high (377 ft) sculpture and observation tower in the Olympic Park in

Stratford, London. It is Britain’s largest piece of public art, and is intended to be a permanent lasting legacy of

London’s hosting of the 2012 Summer Olympics, assisting in the post-Olympics regeneration of the Stratford

area. Sited between the Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre, it allows visitors to view the whole

Olympic Park from two observation platforms.

Orbit was designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond of engineering Group Arup. Announced on 31

March 2010, it was expected to be completed by December 2011. The project came about after Mayor of

London Boris Johnson and Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell decided in 2008 that the Olympic Park needed

“something extra”. Designers were asked for ideas for an “Olympic tower” at least 100 metres (330 ft) high,

and Orbit was the unanimous choice from proposals considered by a nine-person advisory panel.

The project was expected to cost £19.1 million, with £16 million coming from Britain’s richest man, the steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, Chairman of the ArcelorMittal steel company, and the balance of £3.1 million coming from the London Development Agency. The name “ArcelorMittal Orbit” combines the name of Mittal’s company, as chief sponsor, with “Orbit”, the original working title for Kapoor and Balmond’s design.Kapoor and Balmond believe that Orbit represents a radical advance in the architectural field of combining sculpture and structural engineering, and that it combines both stability and instability in a work that visitors can engage with and experience via an incorporated spiral walkway. It has been both praised and criticised for its bold design. It has also been criticised as a vanity project, of questionable lasting use or merit as a public art project.

The first stage of the London 2012 Olympics ticket process – the pre-registration period – began in March and the Locog (London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games) has been busy collating all of the information to establish an idea of which sports are proving the most popular, and for which demographics.By registering, prospective spectators provide Locog with information about the events that they might like to purchase when the tickets become available. They also provide basic details, which will then be used as the first stage of the ticketing ballot system when it is released in 2011.

Research of the initial registration process has shown track and field, swimming and gymnastics are the top three sports that the British public want to purchase.Opening and closing ceremonies, track cycling, swimming and weightlifting will be the hardest to get, mainly because these sports are played in smaller sized venues and the ceremonies are always in extremely high demand.For all of the sessions that are over-subscribed – and these are expected to include swimming and diving, beach volleyball, boxing, tennis, track and field finals, gymnastics, track cycling – there will be a ballot.

The Olympic Park, in London, United Kingdom, is a sporting complex built for the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Paralympics, situated to the east of the city adjacent to the Stratford City development. It contains the athletes' Olympic Village and several of the sporting venues including the Olympic Stadium and London Aquatics Centre, besides the London Olympics Media Centre. The park is overlooked by the ArcelorMittal Orbit, an observation tower and Britain's largest piece of public art. It was announced that after the Olympics, the park would be renamed the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II,though it will not be an official Royal Park of London. The park occupies an area straddling four east London boroughs; Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The park will reopen in July 2013.

The site covers parts of Stratford, Bow, Leyton, and Hackney Wick in East London, overlooking the A12 road. The site was previously a mixture of greenfield and brownfield land, including parts of Hackney Marshes.The Royal Mail has given the park and Stratford City the postcode E20, which previously only appeared in the television soap opera EastEnders for the fictional suburb of Walford.

Four railway stations are located in the immediate vicinity of the park:-Hackney Wick-Stratford station-Stratford International-Pudding Mill Lane DLR station (closed during the Olympics)

The park was designed by the EDAW Consortium (including EDAW and Buro Happold), working with Arup and WS Atkins. The park, including legacy, was taken over by LDA Design in conjunction with Hargreaves Associates and in collaboration with Arup and Atkins.London's Olympic and Paralympic bid proposed that there would be four indoor arenas in the park in addition to the main venues, but the revised master plan published in 2006 reduced this to three, with the volleyball events moved to the Earls Court Exhibition Centre.- The fencing arena was also cancelled, with the fencing events taking place at ExCeL London. The remaining indoor arenas are the Basketball Arena and the Copper Box, in addition to the Water Polo Arena, the Aquatics Centre, and the Velopark. The final design of the park was approved by the Olympic Delivery Authority and its planning-decisions committee.
