Archery - London 2012 location

Lord’s has long been seen as the Home of Cricket, the game’s spiritual headquarters and perhaps the most important single place in world cricket.
Its owner, Marylebone Cricket Club, has been based at Lord’s since 1814, and is the owner and maker of  the Laws of Cricket and guardian of the Spirit of Cricket.

Lord’s is named after the Ground’s original founder, Thomas Lord.

The venue hosts cricket at all levels of the game, including international Test and One Day International Matches and University, school and village fixtures. Middlesex County Cricket club are based at Lord’s and host many of their matches at the Ground.

The design and build

In the London 2012 Olympic Archery Competition, archers will shoot from the front of the 19th century Pavilion – a Grade II*-listed building that underwent an extensive refurbishment programme in 2004–05 – and across the hallowed cricket square towards the Media Centre.

Commissioned for when Lord’s hosted the 1999 Cricket World Cup, the Media Centre has won many awards for its modern, almost futuristic design.

Although temporary structures such as seating are being installed to enable spectators to get closer to the action, comparatively little preparation will be needed to get this world-class venue ready for the Games.

After the Games

Lord’s will return to its traditional role as the Home of Cricket, providing a base for MCC, Middlesex CCC, the England and Wales Cricket Board and European Cricket Council.

Archery equipment from the training, warm-up and competition venues will be donated to schools and archery clubs across the country.

Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony is a celebration showcasing the best of the Host Nation. It also features a parade of all competing nations and the highly anticipated entrance of the Olympic Flame, which ignites the Cauldron and signals the start of the Games.

The eyes of the world will be on London for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The Ceremony will provide an opportunity for the world to view the artistic expression of the Artistic Director (Danny Boyle) and his team, and the culture of our Host City and the UK. There are certain elements that must feature in every Ceremony, as outlined in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) charter. The artistic performance of the Ceremony then gets underway and welcomes the world to the London 2012 Games.

The name of the Olympic Opening Ceremony show will be ‘Isles of Wonder’ and the worldwide broadcast will commence at 9pm. The Ceremony will kick off with the sound of the largest harmonically tuned bell in Europe, produced by the Whitechapel Foundry, and the Stadium will be transformed into the British countryside for opening scene ‘Green and Pleasant’, which includes real farmyard animals. The Ceremony will also include a special sequence celebrating the best of British, featuring volunteer performers from the NHS.

Danny Boyle, Artistic Director of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, said: ‘Our Isles of Wonder salutes and celebrates the exuberant creativity of the British genius in an Opening Ceremony that we hope will be as unpredictable and inventive as the British people.’
