Summer 2008 - 4: London's 2012 Olympic Park (HD)

So, you've just enjoyed the Beijing 2008 Olympics and now have to wait four years before you visit London's Olympic Park?

No way, you want come over and see London's park immediately in order to avoid sporting withdrawal symptoms - and thanks to London Landscape TV you can.

In this special edition of LLTV, filmed Monday, 25 August 2008, I head over to the London Olympic Park so you can take a good look. However you should be warned: it's a bit of a building site. OK, a LOT of a building site!

As I pan the HD camera across the Olympic park you'll notice.. tower cranes, bulldozers, large piles of extracted ground, concrete skeletons, and some excellent arty hoardings ... I think you'll agree there is a 'small' amount of building work to complete before 2012.

Well, at least you can say you were virtually here and you've had a real sense of the beginnings of the London 2012 Olympics. I'll be back from time to time to film the work as it progresses so you' ll be familiar with the Olympic Park before anyone else.

I'll also make myself known to the London Olympic Organising Committee and see if I can get some 'insider' footage on your behalf as the buildings rise from the ground. Meanwhile I better do some training. Cycling is my sport and that Chris Hoy fella is pretty good with his three Golds... and he's 31 and fit. I'm 43 and cycle about one day a week for a few hours. Hmmm....
