London 2012 Olympics
I live in east London,
only 2 miles away from the site of the 2012 Olympics. For the last two
years, I have been covering the development of the site and its impact
on the local community.
I visit the area regularly on commission for local authorities and the
press, and I will be updating the progress of the project on this website
and in a time-lapse slide show posted on YouTube
