Regional Presence

 
Southern Region

The Southern Region is regarded as one of the most successful of England's regions, regularly achieving high growth rates, high economic activity rates and low unemployment. The region is large and diverse.

2012 and beyond

The Southern Region has much to offer and much to gain from the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. The region has many resources and advantages which present opportunities for the  region to play a significant role in delivering the Games:


  • proximity to London
  • position as a global gateway to Britain
  • internationally competitive regional economy and talented workforce
  • enterprising and diverse communities
  • world class sporting and cultural heritage and natural assets.

The region is also ideally placed to maximise the potential of the 2012 Games and create a lasting and sustainable legacy for the communities and businesses across the South.

Prior to the Games, athletes from around the world will be training and preparing for the competition. Some will use facilities known as 'Pre-Games Training Camps' set up by a country's National Olympic or Paralympic Committee  either immediately prior to the London 2012 Games and  beforehand. The South East will host 136 Olympic and Para Olympic 'training camps' over throughought the region.
