Catch the effect on London 'The London Olympic 2012 Park' site has. Mainly being built near and around Newham, East London, the Thames Gateway, the Port of London, Canary Wharf and the Estuary of the River Thames.
A colossal project which is already beginning to regenerate a deprived area and transforming it into a prosperous one!
A unique opportunity to see the economic impact of new developments. If one loves London, one cannot miss the visit to this enormous part of London before being transformed beyond recognition for ever. See the face lift to the area which is inspiring young locals to participate in sport and take in the progress.
Sample the renewed confidence of the people, the clean up of the Lower Lea Valley and the provision of the first new London Park since Victorian times.
Good feeling for everyone regardless of their background. Good vibes all around and see the opportunity for Stratford talent in an area that had been forgotten and now is a major attraction for investors.
You may prefer to see Canary Wharf's transformation from a derelict site or you may wish to see Greenwich and other areas used for the Olympics 2012.
You may flavour the striking contrast between the Lower Lea Valley and the history of navigation in Greenwich as much as the huge new buildings in Churchill Place, Westferry and Docklands where the major financial institutions are flocking to.
This tour is totally flexible and you may wish to see the transformation of the Woolwich area into a prestigious urban London village or the Royal Observatory, the Durkan Estates, the Royal Military Academy regeneration project, a market, good pubs or the listed ex-military Royal Arsenal building which has been painstakingly refurbished. The choice is yours.
