London is one of the world's great cities. It will stage an exceptional
Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
|
It can boast all the facilities expected of a global centre for business, culture and sport. Its landscape is instantly recognisable. Historic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament are world-famous. More than 8,000 acres of parkland add a green heart. And modern icons such as the London Eye bring a 21st century twist. Its economy is international, with Europe's largest stock market just the most obvious example. It leads the world in insurance and finance, with nearly 500 overseas banks based in the financial heartland of the City. It is Europe's principal business centre. And it lives and breathes sport, from existing world-class venues, such as Wimbledon, Wembley and Lord's Cricket Ground, to the public open spaces including Hyde Park, Greenwich and Regent's Park. Winning the right to host the Games from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is an honour, an opportunity and a challenge. London is ready to deliver.
