The city of London will host the Games of the XXX Olympiad. This followed four rounds of voting by members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the 117th IOC Session in Singapore, where London beat Paris in the final round.
Nine cities initially submitted applications to host the 2012 Olympic Games: Paris, Leipzig , New York, Istanbul, Havana, Moscow , London Madrid and Rio de Janeiro.
The final decision on the host city for the Games of the XXX Olympiad was made July 6th, 2005.
The 2012 Games will use a mixture of newly built venues, existing facilities, and temporary facilities, some of them in well known locations such as Hyde Park, Wembley Arena and Horse Guards Parade. Some of the new facilities will be reused in their Olympic form, while others will be reduced in size and several will be relocated elsewhere in the UK.
The majority of venues have been divided into three zones within Greater London: the Olympic Zone, the River Zone and the Central Zone. In addition to these are those venues that, by necessity, are outside the boundaries of Greater London.
During the Games, the Olympic and Paralympic Village will feature residential apartments for around 18,000 athletes and officials, along with shops, restaurants, medical, media and leisure facilities and large areas of open space.
The London 2012 Games will be centered around Olympic Park. Up to 180,000 spectators a day will enjoy the Games, making it the principal focus of Olympic activity in summer 2012. Famous venues will include Wembley Stadium for football/soccer and the All-England Club in Wimbledon for tennis.
