London Olympics 2012 & History
LESS than five months until the opening ceremony, the London Olympics is nearly £2 billion ($3.15 billion) over budget, UK lawmakers revealed in a critical report. Officials were accused of badly underestimating 2012 security needs, which led to "significant" increases in the publicly-funded Games bill, while commitments on legacy projects also pushed the spending higher.
This will be the third time London has hosted the games having also done so in 1908 and 1948.

The 1908 Olympic Games were originally scheduled to be hosted by Rome, but the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius caused the Games to be relocated to London.

The 2012 Olympics will take place in a host of new venues as well as using existing and historic facilities. Many of the new facilities will be reused and the plans are part of the regeneration of Stratford and Lower Lea Valley in east London.
