For example, Wembley Stadium will welcome football fans and Wimbledon,of course, will host Olympic tennis. Famous Hyde Park will feature triathlon events, while Earl's Court will lend space for volleyball.

Likewise, sightseers will be treated to competitions at the Lord's Cricket Ground, the Royal Artillery Barracks and Regent's Park. Greenwich Park, the Horse Guards Parade and scenic Hadleigh Farm will also provide settings for a variety of events. These are all renowned sites on the lists of regular travelers and will be all the more festive during the games.

As anyone who has visited London knows, there are many accommodations options available and these will certainly be ramped up for the games. In addition to hotels that fit nearly any budget, there will be hostels, apartments and houses for rent to give guests a place to lay their heads.

Special attention will also be given to transportation needs for moving millions of people around the city. The celebrated black cabs will be out in force and the airport, rail and bus systems will be operating at peak capacity. Those who have a chance to visit during the games will certainly experience scenic London at its liveliest.
