| GET SMART |
|
| It's time to get organised for the big O |
|
|
|
|
|
When to party? What to see? Where to watch? Who to cheer? Questions, questions, and the only answer we have is to get smart and get organised. And not just with transport. If you want to make the most of London for the next two weeks, a detailed timetable is necessary – cultural offerings, sporting events, visiting the Olympic Park to see Anish Kapoor's sculpture, AND partying. Good luck! |

|
| WHERE TO WATCH: |
 |
| No tickets, no matter. Screens will be popping up across London from Friday. See all the events and both ceremonies at Hyde Park (the biggest screen), Victoria Park, or the London Pleasure Gardens, or if you want to take shelter try The Drift in the Heron Tower (and head to the rooftop to check out Sushisamba for alfresco sushi afterwards). |

ONE STOP SHOP: |

Almost overnight there's been a flurry of stampede-inducing pop ups: H&M sportswear, Chanel beauty and the much anticipated Opening Ceremony. You'll find us at Mishkin's surrounded by OC bags. Elbows at the ready. |
