Although many attitudes in and most London will be used for Olympic Games the core location for most of the moments will be the 500-acre Olympic Park in the glower Lea Valley in East London,Which stretches oer 5 boroughs namely Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Camden, Greenwich and Stratford. 3 years ago Lower Lea Valley, was literally a dump site, with muggings at an all time high, knife crimes were way out up and up. And you know why?Because no one cared approximately the place, it was considered to be a dirty, dangerous and dilapidated. And know gentlemen, due to the Olympic Committees regeneration programme, the streets are clean, the alleys are well lightThe most important venue of the 2012 has been exposit as an architects dream.
