Olympic Torch To Visit Every London Borough
Monday 7th November 2011
London 2012 organisers have confirmed the Olympic torch will be carried through every London borough next year.
The torch will go through more than a thousand locations across the country, before arriving in London on July 20th. It will then spend a week passing through every borough before heading along the Thames to the Olympic Stadium.
After spending its first night at the Tower Of London, it begin its journey on 21st July in Greenwich. Redbridge Cycling Centre and Camden's Roundhouse are among the other venues which will welcome the Olympic flame.
Starting out at Land's End, the full 8,000 mile Olympic relay will also take in hundreds of landmarks including Snowdon, Stormont, Loch Ness and Stonehenge.
Every county in England and every local authority area in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will host the flame, reaching as far north as Lerwick in Scotland to St Helier in the south, Lowestoft in the east and Enniskillen in the west.
