If you’re looking to watch the Olympics whilst you’re out and about during the summer, and you’re not in London, there will be 22 London 2012 Live Sites throughout the UK where communities can come together to support and cheer on the competitors on the big screens.

It is predicted that around half a million people each day will attend the Live Sites to watch the action unfold. The areas will be branded with London 2012 livery and seating will be provided so fans can catch the sporting action in style.
