On Tuesday 28 February, huge Olympic Rings will travel down the River Thames to mark 150 days to go until the start of the London 2012 Games.



Tower Bridge opened several times on 28th February 2012 to welcome the Olympic Games to the Pool of London. The event was organised by the Mayor of London to mark 150 days to go until the start of the London 2012 Games.

The rings, which measure an impressive 11.5 metres high by 25 metres wide, were on show between London Bridge and Tower Bridge between 6am and 1.30pm.

Londoners and visitors alike flocked to the river to watch the rings being displayed in the heart of the capital. In the afternoon the rings were towed down river to Greenwich and Canary Wharf.

This time lapse sequence was taken in the morning from the south bank from Shad Thames and in the evening from the Tower of London.

 INTERESTING FACTS
• 800,000 tonnes of soil was taken away before construction could begin – enough to fill the Royal Albert Hall nine times over
• 62.7m – the stadium height is half the size of the London Eye and the equivalent to the central span of Tower Bridge
• 50 km – the seats lined side by side
• 34 unladen double decker London buses – the weight the roof can support
• The wrap increases the spectators’ comfort and creates the theatrical black space before entering the drama in the seating bowl
• 56 different colours of glass balustrades
