2012 Olympic Games park project reviews

The London 2012 panel reviews proposals for new buildings and spaces associated with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and considers their legacy.

The panel advises the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) on the quality, sustainability and legacy of London 2012 proposals. It provides independent design advice on major projects in the 500-acre park to ensure that they:

  • are well-designed for use during the Games
  • will provide a lasting legacy of high-quality, inclusive and sustainable buildings and public spaces.

We publish London 2012 reviews if a scheme is the subject of a planning application. All other reviews are confidential.

London 2012 panel members are drawn from England’s architectural, built environment and creative communities and the panel is chaired by Paul Finch.
