I recently visited London and had the chance to go on a guided walk around the Olympic Village. The walk was organised by London Walks and it was very enjoyable. Our guide was obviously very educated on the subject and gave us lots of information about the Olympic Games past and present.
The tour lasted 2 hours and we walked from West Ham Tube Station (where apparently 1/5 of the visitors will come through) to the ViewTube, which gave us beautiful views of the olympic village: including the Olympic stadium, the Aquatics centre and the Orbit. I took some pictures on the day and so thought I would post them on here (sorry for the relatively poor quality – I used a Blackberry Curve 8520):

The Stadium as we walked towards it from the Greenway
Nothing to do with the tour, but if are in London and have a spare hour then going on a World Famous”Boris Bike” is definantly worth the time (You get the first half an hour free, then its £1 for up to an hour)
Hope you enjoyed the pictures, if you have any of your own you want to share then please link to them in the comments.
