Welcome to Olympic Britain 2012.

Official Olympic information can be found on the Official Olympic website at www.london2012.com. This website (not connected with LOCOG) is an unofficial Guide, providing information about the specific venues, links to accommodation and attractions in the area.

It also provides a London 2012 Discussion Forum for anyone with an interest in the Games - from the Olympic Venues to up and coming British athletes that may or may not be competing at the Olympics in 2012.

If you have anything that you wish to see added to this website, then do let us know - either on the 2012 Discussion Forum or via our Contact Form.

Latest Team GB Hopefuls

Helen and Carol Galashan

Identical twins Helen and Carol Galashan are students at Leeds Metropolitan University, and are Britain's leading synchronised diving hopefuls for the 2012 Olympics. The twins' training programme and the Aquatics Centre at the John Charles Centre for Sport in Leeds, where the girls train, are both backed by the Lottery. This means the girls have the best possible training facilities, and the best chance to realise their Olympic dream!
