LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS

ONE YEAR TO LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS

In less than a year, the world's attention will turn to London for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Olympics next year aspires to be the greenest and most sustainable Olympics ever with the redevelopment of East London . The installation of sustainable infrastructure and transport systems, among others, utilising eco-friendly methods all work towards this end.

In the following months, the British Embassy and the British Council will spearhead events and initiatives to drum up the Olympic event.

Visit this webpage again to see the latest schedule of events for London 2012 Olympics that will happen in the Philippines.
We will also post them on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
