The London 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad, are scheduled to take place from 27 July to 12 August 2012. London will become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times, having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.
London was elected as the host city, defeating Moscow, New York City, Madrid and Paris after four rounds of voting. The successful bid for London 2012 was headed by former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe.

When reporting London’s win, British media covered the expectant crowds in both France and Britain (and in the other bid cities), and contrasted the jubilant reaction in London to the reaction of the crowd in Paris. However, the celebrations in London were overshadowed when London’s transport system was attacked by terrorists less than 24 hours after the announcement. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will use a mixture of new venues, existing and historic facilities, and temporary facilities, some of them in well-known locations such as Hyde Park and Horse Guards Parade. Some of the new facilities will be reused in their Olympic form, while others, will be resized or relocated.
The majority of venues have been divided into three zones within Greater London: the London 2012 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, such as the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy on the Isle of Portland in Dorset which will host the sailing events, some 125 miles (200 km) southwest of the Olympic Park. The football tournament will be staged at several grounds around the UK.Most of these venues have individual Olympic Gifts and a range of posters.
