Online, May 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Tickets for the 2012 Olympics are now being allocated and the pace is certainly hotting up. Those that will be lucky with the ticket allocation will be planning a trip to London for this big event.
The Olympic Games started in Sparta in 776BC when the King was involved in a treaty with three Greek provinces and this treaty was reaffirmed every four years featuring a race between the provinces and the intervening four year period was an Olympiad.
The Olympic Games stopped in 393AD, but a re-birth of the Olympics was instigated in France by Baron de Coubertine in 1894 and in 1896 in Athens the first modern Olympics featured athletes from 14 countries with the USA having the most winners. It wasn't until 1900 in Paris that women took part in the games for the first time with the first female winner being Britain's Charlotte Cooper who won the Olympics tennis event.
The 2012 Games will represent an unprecedented opportunity to reinvent London's buildings, events and social innovations and presents a huge opportunity to showcase Britain to the world and to boost the country's tourism industry both before, during and after this great event.
As with many special occasions in London, which attracts a massive number of tourists from all over the world, this will be no exception. London will be bursting at the seams from well before the Opening Ceremony on 27th July right through to September 2012 because of this very special and competitive event.
Ticket numbers for the Games amount to 7.7 million with another 1.5 million for the Paralympics Games which is a huge number and tourists are already being advised if planning to visit London during this time to ensure they book early into accommodation or run the risk of being disappointed.
A spokesman for Dolphin House part of the Dolphin Square complex said "London is always busy and some tourists struggle with finding suitable accommodation if they leave it too late. We offer apartments for rent in London second to none as they are sheer luxury and, being self contained, are the preferred option by the discerning tourist of today. Our apartments are fully equipped with the choice of one, two or three bedrooms, in the perfect location of Westminster and this beats a hotel room any time".
Luxury serviced apartments London could be the perfect solution for accommodation whether visiting London for the Olympics or just sightseeing and relaxing. The thing to remember is that there is always something going on in this beautiful city and securing accommodation well in advance to your trip is key as this will ensure you get exactly what you want.
Serviced accommodation London is well and truly on the up as it offers your own front door which, once closed, offers privacy, the space to either relax or work and is ideal for families.
The Olympics aside, if a visit to London is on the cards in the near future, beat the mad rush of the holiday season now just around the corner and book early, you will be sure to secure apartments for rent London, maybe in Dolphin House.
