Olympic Walks to suit your group
Blue Badge Tourist Guides offer Daily Walks around the Olympic Park for individuals and small groups See our Individuals page for details. However you might want to book a private, tailor-made tour at a time that suits your group. Here are some ideas:
Visit all three London Olympic sites in the same day. No other city on earth can offer you this experience! Only London will have hosted the Games three times - 1908, 1948 and 2012.
On each of those occasions the world has been at a crossroads.
In 1908 events in the White City Stadium put the re-founded Olympics on the world map.
In 1948 the 'Austerity Olympics' at Wembley helped the world awaken from the horror of the Second World War.
And in 2012 Stratford will introduce the future - the Sustainability Olympics and Paralympics.
Walk for Gold has been part of Open Weekend, the annual countdown celebration to the opening of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, in both 2009 and 2010.
This is a full day tour on foot and by tube. You will need an Oyster Card or zones 1 - 4 Travel Card.
For more information on Walk for Gold please email bb.2012@hotmail.com
Stroll past gems of London's industrial past.
Hear why East London was chosen to host the world's greatest sporting festival, the Olympic and Paralympic Games
See the largest urban park to be created in Europe in 150 years!
London's famous Blue Badge Tourist Guides will give you all the latest on the athletes and the venues
We will take you to a viewpoint on the edge of the construction site for a breathtaking view of the Olympic Stadium, Aquatic Centre, Olympic Village, Velodrome and other venues as they are being built for the Games in 2012.
For more information please contact Tour Guides Limited
A jogging tour for the more actively focussed! A 10k guided run along the proposed final stretch of the 2012 Olympic Marathon. From Buckingham Palace through the City to Aldgate and onto Mile End and Bow, before reaching a vantage point overlooking the Olympic Stadium (the Olympic Park itself is a restricted hard hat area). Passing en route Trafalgar Square, St Pauls, the Gherkin, and famous East End pubs like The Blind Beggar and Bow Bells - in other words, the West End to the East End. Enjoy some short stops where your Blue Badge Tourist Guides will give you concise info on the 2012 Games and on Britain's impressive heritage of 'Play up! And play the game!' - the driving inspiration for the modern Olympic Movement.
