Accommodation during the London Olympics

Most events will be held at the Olympic Park, but other areas of London are also hosting events. Such as Earls Court, Hyde Park, Lords Cricket Ground, Wembley and Wimbledon. All points - North, South, East, and West are embracing the games. So accommodation will be required throughout Greater London.

In the rest of England, Scotland, and Wales the games will be played out. Such as the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and at Old Trafford, home of the world famous Manchester United Football Club, Hampden Park in Glasgow - the home of Scottish football, and St James' Park, home of Newcastle United FC.

The sailing competitions will be held in beautiful Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour in Dorset, the county renown as England's Jurassic coast, home of the famous Chesil Beach and where white sand meets a cobalt sea.

If you live nearby any of these places, then you can benefit by providing accommodation. Even if you think you may be too far away then the British Rail network will get your visitors to their destination. If your guests are hiring a car, then the UK's extensive motorway network can connect them from even further afield.

Remember that although your guests will be primarily coming to see the Olympics, they may also be a on a one off, once in a lifetime holiday, so provide them with information about local attractions and places of interest not only around their Olympic venues, but also around where they are living. The potential is endless. Recommend a local pub, restaurant or cafe, suggest local sights - all are simple yet considerate services.

Go the extra mile and give them a continental breakfast - an orange juice, croissant, jam and marmalade. Coffee to see them on their way. It will be appreciated.

For the enterprising homeowner or room provider it is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

.....has the Olympic Games been held in London. Thats 64 years ago, and the chances of them returning again over that many years are slim.

That's why this is a once in a lifetime chance - grasp it while you can.

Great Britain was the first to host the games back then after the Second World War. They rose to the challenge when no other nation could take it on. It demonstrated spirit, unity, courage and friendship. A world divided by war, became united by sport.

The Olympic dream! Five circles, interconnected, representing five continents, embracing peace and friendship. It's the reason why the torch continues to burn. The flame of hope!

That is the attraction of the Games. The Olympics is returning to London - don't miss out.
