London Olympic Stadium. Following the Games, it was renovated for multi-purpose use for sport and music concerts.
The London 2012 Olympic Legacy is the longer-term benefits and effects of the planning, funding, building and staging of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in summer 2012. It is variously described [1] as:
economic – supporting new jobs and skills, encouraging trade, inward investment and tourism
sporting – continuing elite success, development of more sports facilities and encouraging participation in schools sports and wider
social and volunteering – inspiring others to volunteer and encouraging social change
regeneration – reuse of venues, new homes, improved transportation, in East London and at other sites across the UK.
The 2012 legacy is coordinated by the UK Government who appointed Lord Sebastian Coe as the London 2012 legacy ambassador in August 2012.[2]
Examples of the 2012 legacy benefits and results include:
learning – shared knowledge and lessons learned from the construction of the Olympic Park and preparing and staging the Games[3]
economic – 2012 apprenticeships in broadcasting companies including the BBC and ITV[4]
regeneration – the re-opening of the Olympic Park as the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in July 2013[5]
tourism – the Games' long term benefits on London's and Britain's tourism industry
