The London 2012 Candidate File identified a number of sporting facilities which have no legacy within the Olympic Park after the Games.

These have been termed as Reusable/Relocatable Arenas. There is a strong aspiration to maximise the benefits of investing in London 2012 facilities to enhance the wider sporting community legacy from the Games.

The venues which are the subject of this prospectus have yet to be designed or procured and, as such, some of the issues relating to their eventual transfer may be subject to change.  This prospectus is intended to assist possible end users, at this early stage, to assess whether they wish to seek to obtain a venue.  However, it does not bind the Government, Olympic Delivery Authority, Sport England or any other organisation.
