Sadiq Khan suggests date for London to host another Olympic Games and launches campaign
Sadiq Khan has backed London to bid for the 2040 Olympic Games. A campaign launched by the Mayor of London is pushing for the capital to become the first city in the world to host the Summer Olympics on four separate occasions.
London last hosted the multi-sport spectacle in 2012, when billions of pounds was pumped into constructing the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, which included brand new state-of-the-art venues like the London Stadium, the Aquatics Centre and the Velodrome. Khan’s campaign involves using those facilities to bring the Games back to Great Britain as part of a wider strategy aimed at making London ‘the sporting capital of the world’.
