Tours in the area of the games
London's professional BLUE BADGE GUIDES can take you on a tour of the sites of the games to chart the progress of the regeneration of parts of east London and the creation of the new Olympic area and corresponding locations.
Below you will find descriptions of different tours you can take with our guides, whether you are arriving on foot, by rail or in a coach.
This walk begins by following the former industrial Lower Lea valley, past old mills and along a tow path, whilst discovering why this area was chosen for the Olympic Park. We finish on a footpath from where there are excellent views of the 2012 Olympic Park construction site. Your guide will tell you the latest news on the venues, athletes and what will happen to it all after the 2012 Games are over. (Please note that members of the public are not allowed access to the interior of the Olympic Park).
The tour runs every day at 11am. For more information and booking details, go to the Daily Walk page
Following on from the continuing success of the Daily Olympic Walk, Blue Badge Tourist Guides have now launched a new Olympic tour to coincide with the final run up to the 2012 Games. Our mid week Evening Olympic Walk will take place every Wednesday evening during the summer months.
Bring a group of friends or turn up on your own - a great way to meet new friends as everyone will be introduced! Walkers will be directed to a pub or restaurant afterwards, with just a short ride on the Docklands Light Railway. We hope this walk will appeal to commuters and other groups of office workers and think this is the perfect way to spend a summer evening.
The tour runs every Wednesday at 6pm until mid-August. For more information and booking details, go to the Mid-Week Evening Walk page
A guided walk starting on the other side of the Olympic Park from the Daily Walk and closer to the Velodrome and Athletes Village. It is also longer, so if you’re a regular walker this extended walk is the one for you! View all the main Olympic Park venues on this walk and discover why this part of London was chosen to host the greatest sporting event in the world. (Please note that members of the public are not allowed access to the interior of the Olympic Park).
The tour runs every Saturday afternoon at 1.45pm. For more information and booking details, go to the Other Olympic Walk page
For a thousand years the finest and strongest sportsmen met in Olympia every 4 years to show off their strength and skills and at the same time to honour their gods.
The story of the ancient Olympic Games comes to life in this tour of the British Museum where you will learn about the ancient games, the participants, their prizes and you will see these sportsmen taking part in the games, recorded for ever on some of the precious artifacts in the Museum. This tour is revelatory and full of surprises!
The tour starts at 10.30am and runs every Friday. For more information and booking details, go to the Olympic Connections page
