London has generated endless levels of excitement ever since it was chosen to host the 2012 Olympic Games. Twenty-six sports are set to take place in the capital at various venues over the summer and travellers from all over the world are planning a trip to view the sport of their choice.
Must-Visit London Attractions
People from Britain and other countries are expected to flock to the capital during the games, taking advantage of the free events and various attractions that will be available. Many of these visitors will not have tickets to the main events but this does not mean they won’t enjoy their stay in London.
There are a number of Olympic venues opening across London and its surrounding areas for the sporting event and these are sure to attract both visitors with and without tickets.
The Olympic Park homes the aquatics centre for swimming, diving and water polo and also boasts a basketball arena, BMX track and the Velodrome for track cycling.
The Olympic Stadium is also based at the Olympic Park, which is where the athletics and Paralympic athletic games will take place.
The atmosphere is guaranteed to be immense regardless of whether visitors have tickets or not and that means that tourism numbers to the capital are expected to soar.
London Accommodation Under Strain
Whilst the increased tourism is set to bring additional revenue to the capital it could also put some of their services under strain. Accommodation in particular has been labelled a slight cause for concern, with many fearing hotels and rented accommodation may become fully booked well in advance of the start of the games.
This means the capital needs to think of a suitable way to accommodate the millions of people who could be left with nowhere to stay. Offering the perfect resolution, a number of temporary caravan sites are being developed across the capital, offering visitors the perfect place to stay at an affordable price.
Alternative accommodation for 2012 Olympics in London
Central London is the most sought after location and many caravan sites are being opened in areas situated within close proximity of the Olympic Village: the centre of this summer’s sporting action.
The main caravan site is located close to Chigwell tube station which provides access to the main Olympic venues via a short fifteen-minute journey. This is because Chigwell tube station is accessed via the Central Line – which connects the area to other major districts in the capital.
The popularity of these sites is expected to lead to an increase in the number of people enjoying regular caravanning holidays. These holidays can offer better value for money than traditional forms and products such as touring caravan insurance can ensure your temporary home is protected at all times.
