- London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics, beating Paris. Its bid emphasized youth engagement in sport, sustainability, and using the Olympics to regenerate deprived parts of London.
- The Olympic Park and facilities were located in Stratford, a relatively deprived area, allowing it to benefit from improvements to infrastructure like new transit links and housing.
- The Olympics cost around £10 billion but provided benefits like urban regeneration through converting facilities like pools for public use and planned development of the athletes' village into new homes and business space. However, the overall economic impact is debated as London spent over $18 billion for $14 billion in revenues.

Report: London 2012 Olympics 'have boosted UK economy by £9.9bn'Geert Elemans
The UK economy has seen a £9.9bn boost in trade and investment from hosting the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, research suggests.
A report by the government department which promotes UK businesses put new contracts, sales and foreign investment in the last year down to the Games.
But the claims were met with scepticism by some economists and the Federation of Small Businesses.
Government estimates put the cost of hosting the Games at £8.9bn.
The report, for the UK Trade and Investment department (UKTI), said the Olympics resulted in:
£2.5bn "additional inward investment", 58% of which was outside London
£5.9bn additional sales following Olympic-related promotions by the Foreign Office and UKTI
£1.5bn high value overseas contracts - such as helping to design venues in other host-nations

18. Our Ambition
“ This summer's Olympics will put the eyes of the
world on Britain as we host not just an
unparalleled sporting spectacle, but also a chance
for companies from across the globe to interact
and do business here in the UK…
….We are working hard to make sure the
whole country can seize this once in a generation
opportunity.
We expect these events to generate at least £1bn
for British businesses and they are vital to our
efforts to secure a long-term return to sustainable
growth.”
David Cameron
