A reminder that the competition to name a part of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park after the London Olympics closes on the 18th May 2011.
The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is the area surrounding the London Olympic stadium, Olympic Village and such where the games will be held in 2012.
After the Olympics, the area will be redeveloped into leisure, retail and residential zones and each needs a name. The Olympic Legacy Committee want the public to name all five zones and the chosen names will become new parts of London on all the maps and signs.
The competition to name the Olympic zones has been running for several months with many thousands of names submitted, but if you want to have a chance to be part of London history you need to submit your name by the 18th May.
Start thinking and then select the region you want to name from the Olympic Legacy naming competition web site. This also contains lots of information about each region such as historical references.
One name that is coming out quite highly currently is Redgravia named partly after Sir Steve Redgrave and of course the existing Belgravia region of London.
