The document summarizes the status of the London 2012 Olympic Games, reporting that the Olympic Park was delivered on time and within budget, with £476 million of uncommitted contingency remaining. It describes the transformation of an formerly deprived area of East London into an Olympic Park featuring new sports venues, residential and commercial areas, and improved infrastructure and transportation. While challenges were met along the way, including issues posed by the credit crunch, savings from the construction phase were reinvested and the "Big Build" was completed on schedule with nearly £500 million in unspent contingency funds.
