Lee Valley

Celebrate the legacy of #London2012

Updated: Nov 14, 2022

From Dame Laura Kenny (née Trott) lapping the velodrome to the Team GB’s historic gold and silver medals in the canoe slalom C2 event to ParalympicsGB’s wheelchair tennis triumphs, there’s a host of unforgettable moments which took place in our legacy venues! Now it’s time to reignite that Olympic spirit, whether that’s reliving the magic for yourself or passing the baton to younger people. See how you can get involved here 👇🏻


Read all about it!

Lee Valley VeloPark is not only home to cycling glory, but it’s now hosting our wonderful ‘Ten Years On’ exhibition in partnership with LLDC and the National Paralympic Heritage Trust. Split into two sections you can explore the legacy of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and see iconic items such as Olympic and Paralympic medals. There’s also the chance to take a selfie with Wenlock, touch the Super Saturday running track and feel the structure of running blades.


The exhibition is FREE to visit and is open during the venues opening times.
