Mayor: London 'ready' to host 2012 Games
London mayor Boris Johnson has told members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that the capital is now "ready" to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
A delegation of IOC representatives visited London to inspect preparations for the Games, with work now complete on all of the competition venues and handed over to organisers.
Major transport infrastructure improvements have either been completed or are "well on track" to be delivered, while entertainment will be available across London at special Live Sites next summer.
Johnson said: "Excitement around London 2012 is already reaching fever pitch and there is no doubt that the capital will live up to everyone's expectations but there is still much to do over the coming months.
"We will continue to improve our public squares, parks and streets and dress our great city with the unmistakeable Olympic Rings so that London sparkles in the world's spotlight in a few months time."
