The London 2012 Olympic Games will take place from 27 July to 12 August, and the Paralympic Games from 29 August to 9 September.
The Games will involve:
The action will centre on the Olympic Park in East London, home to the Olympic Stadium and key venues such as the Aquatics Centre. Other events, such as football and sailing, will take place across the UK.
The Government Olympic Executive (GOE), which is part of the DCMS, oversees the entire London 2012 project. Visit the Government Olympic Communication online press centre.
We supervise £9.3 billion of public sector funding which comes from a variety of sources including central Government, London authorities and the National Lottery. We produce Quarterly Economic Reports and Annual Reports* which provide a full financial update on our progress.
We will ensure that the Games are delivered on time, on budget and for the benefit of the whole country.
