The Summer Olympics 2012 was held in London. This page records the mapping associated with the various venues, many being elsewhere in the UK. Additionally, international teams used other cities in the UK and elsewhere as pre-Olympics training/holding centres. See also Wikipedia article on this topic: Venues of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.

This page is retained as a future project inspired by another sporting event may re-use the venues.
