Jubilee Greenway unveiled in London
A new 60km (37.3-mile) cycling and walking route, connecting each of the nine London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic venues across the capital, has been launched by the Duke of Gloucester.
The route has been devised by The Jubilee Walkway Trust, which created the original Jubilee Walkway to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, and makes use of existing walkways and cycle paths wherever possible. A number of London's visitor attractions and iconic landmarks are also included as part of the Jubilee Greenway, linking Buckingham Palace, Paddington station, Woolwich Foot Tunnel, Tower Bridge, Kensington Palace and the 2012 Olympic Park.
London mayor Boris Johnson said: "Whether by foot or by pedal power, people that use the route will be able to enjoy some of London's best parks and most wonderful waterways. Few capitals of the world can boast such a superb asset for walkers and cyclists." Hugh Sumner, the Olympic Delivery Authority's transport director, added: "The Greenway is used by many of our 3,500 construction workers to get to the Olympic Park every day, as well as hundreds of local residents.
"Encouraging our workforce and thousands of spectators in three years time, to use these sustainable and active transport options will help London 2012's goal to be the first sustainable Games."
