I have just returned from three days at the 2012 Olympics where I watched three different weight categories of both the men's and women's judo. These were held at the ExCel Centre in London Docklands, which is hosting seven of the Olympic events and I have to say that everything was organised superbly. Particular mention has to be made of the soldiers who provided a lot of the security cover at the Excel and who did it efficiently, with courtesy and smiling faces - despite being billetted in underground car parks!
Some great news on the medals front so far for Team GB with an excellent result for the Equestrian team today which I had tried to get tickets for, but was not one of the lucky ones so had to suffice with TV coverage this morning! Let's hope for some more successes for our other teams and individuals in the days to come.
I used national rail from the fringes of London plus the underground and DLR in the city and they all coped well, with plenty of staff on hand to help. The new Thames cable car - the Emirates Air Line (see photo below) - linking Greenwich with the Royal Docks also seemed to be very popular. Excellent organisation from TfL.
