Today we will end our story regarding the London venues for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games with three iconic places for England’s capital, the Royal Artillery Barracks, Wimbledon and Wembley Stadium.
Private transfer to Royal Artillery Barracks
We will start with the location built during 1776 and 1802, near Woolwich Common which will hold the shooting and archery events for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. If you didn’t guess until now, the place that will house this competition is the Royal Artillery Barracks, a place most popular for the longest continuous Georgian façade as well as for having the biggest parade square of any of the Barracks in the United Kingdom. The former Royal Artillery is located in the South East of London, at Woolwich.
The shooting competitions at the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in London, Great Britain will be organized at a short term set up location at the Barracks. The initial place for this event was the National Shooting Centre in Surrey, but due to the big number of sports that were supposed to be held outside London, Great Britain was suggested by the International Olympic Committee to look a better option.
After the Olympics and Paralympics the temporary events held at the Royal Barrack, the hall will be moved somewhere else in the UK.

Private transfer to Wembley Stadium
The initial Wembley Stadium was used to great events such as the Olympic Games, having previously hosted some of the competitions for the 1948 Olympics. But now, on the site where the first Wembley once stood we find a new, modern, bigger and much attractive venue which will also be home to some of the football matches of the 2012 London Olympics. Even if not as used to great competitions, the new Wembley will certainly rise up to its expectations in the weeks to come. With a total of 90000 seats, the home of the England national football team certainly is an architectural masterpiece which has cost no less than 798 GBP. The all-seater arena is centered around a round design, secured from the elements by a sliding roof that does not entirely enclose it. It can also be modified to serve as an athletic venue by setting up a short-term platform over the lowest tier of seating.

Private transfer to Wimbledon
Have you ever heard of Wimbledon? Of course you did! Even if you are or aren’t passionate about tennis, you’ve certainly heard the name Wimbledon at least for one time in your life. But even if the popularity of this court surrounds the world every day, most of the people don’t really know much about it. Don’t worry if you’re one of them, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about Wimbledon in below.
The initial Wimbledon Tennis Championship was held in 1877 at the All England lawn tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon which was also the sponsor of this competition which was initially created in order to for the Club to attract extra funds so that they could fix a damaged roller at the private club but by no one’s choice, the competition grew to become the most highly regarded tournament in the entire world.
In the early days of Wimbledon tennis history women weren’t allowed to play this game. So in 1884 the only event held was the Mens Singles. The first to win was Spencer Gore which will always be remembered as the very first Wimbledon Tennis Champion. The last game was performed in front of 200 viewers. The people that attended paid one shilling each to view the final match first Singles Mens Championships in Wimbledon history.
The very first Wimbledon Championships was performed at the exclusive club on Worple Road. In 1922 the club was moved to Church Road and gone through various improvements since.
The winner with the biggest number of titles at Wimbledon and the Wimbledon Tennis Champion counting 9 of them is Martina Navratilova. The same title is held by Wiliam Renshaw and Pete Sampras with a number of 7 titles each.
As you may have already guessed, Wimbledon will host the tennis competition for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The tennis events will take place on the 4th and 5th of August.
