July is the perfect time to post a picture of The Olympic Stadium in London. It is the
centrepiece of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the last stop
in the 2012 Olympics torch relay, and the venue of the athletic
events as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
It is located within the Olympic Park
in Stratford, in the Lower Lea Valley of east London. The stadium has
a capacity of 80,000, making it the third-largest stadium in England
behind Wembley and Twickenham.
Land preparation for the stadium began
in mid-2007. The stadium will also host the 2017
World Championships in Athletics.
