2nd March 2012 – Olympic Watch Site Visit – River Thames

The world will be watching and the Olympic area will be used by thousands of people.  This series of site visits to public realm improvements associated with the 2012 event will look at how main thoroughfares and routes from transport hubs to and around venues are being designed and built.

Details of sites and times will be circulated near the dates. The first site visit to Exhibition Road in May is completely oversubscribed, so early booking is recommended.

River Thames

With Olympic venues on either side of the Thames, the river will take center-stage during the 2012 Olympics.  A series of schemes are set to be delivered to improve the experience on and along the water.  This includes footway improvements along the tow path, extended river services and the introduction of the Thames Gateway cable car.  This site visit is limited in numbers – please contact sue.vincent@urbandesignlondon.com to put your name on the waiting list.
