And yes it’s common to find Americans always debating on whether the UK is worth to pay a visit. Let’s face it; there are about 50 states in the US alone with their signature cultural traits, topography and pretty lot to explore. But this year, London has something for which the US has a lot to concern itself with, as London is hosting the 2012 Olympics.
The American spirit has always praised its athletes on and off the field and there’s nothing holding back this time. UK’s renowned travel agency Travelhouse UK has highlighted the majority of the states from each region of the US connecting flights to London’s premier Heathrow Airport. Richmond, Washington, Seattle, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Denver and Bozeman are just to name a few. You’ll be left with no excuse as far as accessibility is concerned.
This year there are some ace athletes who will bring the glory of a gold medal to be placed alongside the American flag. Le Bron James needs no introduction, which is why he’ll have all the limelight a star would rather avert at the London 2012 basketball events occurring on alternating days between the 29th of July and 12th of August at the Basketball and Greenwich Arenas. Michael Phelps also would have all the hype at the Aquatics Centre. Both of them have international fan-following to watch them do their best at the events.
The American athlete who’ll need special American encouragement through attendance of events would be Misty May Treanor, the Beach Volleyball player from California who’ll be performing at the Horse Guards Parade venue within the same timeframe ranging from 29th July to 7th August.
The English have taken care to shift focus on ventures other than the games. The festivities are scheduled to reach such a height that the congestion allows the room to choose the suitable ones to attend to. Yogi Jill Everett will be conducting a mass public yoga session for which you’ll need to turn up at the Shadwell Basin Outdoor Centre on 29th July. Other than that it’s flexible to visit the Casa Italia or the Italian National Olympic Committee House established at the QEII Conference centre for cultural performances by artists as well as food and wine stalls.
In case you’re in a creative mood to spend a fine evening do step in the pop up workshop at the National Theatre, where you’ll find your childish humor tickling its way in with potential visitors of all ages trying their attempts at the art and designing of puppetry. Concerts will be organized at Southbank centre in Southwark, featuring Antony’s Meltdown and Baba Maal.
With the Olympics in focus, your durational stay at London will be presumably short, so it would wise if you at least attend some event which stratifies the classic environment residing in London alone, a hint of which will be clearly visible at the “Room for London” in Queen Elizabeth Hall. Instilling debate among Londoners on topics regarding the improvement of the public community easily shows the power of interaction as well as concern for the common folk by the common folk in the Evening Standard: Ideas for London.
A London Address involves writers with the subject of iconic historical landmarks over the transition of modern development, and the cherry on the top is the “Sounds from a Room” letting visitors enjoy music along with viewing the tides of the River Thames alongside the platform which consists of a boat. One-bedroom installations are available for a stay to remember at the place.
