London will welcome the Olympic Flame on Sunday 6 April 2008, as part of the global Olympic Torch Relay in the run up to the Beijing Olympic Games.

The torch will travel through ten London boroughs from Wembley to Greenwich, passing around 1.00pm in front of the London Aquarium on board of a boat by the River Thames. Southbank will organise a spectacular welcome of the Olympic Torch with FREE entertainment and events, bringing London's colour and vibrancy to life.

The London County Hall building will be one of the best place where you can watch this event and get the best view of the Olympic Torch from the Cafe on the terrace or Ozu Restaurant Japonais or by the riverside Queen’s walk!

The Olympic flame will be carried through London by 80 torchbearers including double Olympic gold medal winner Dame Kelly Holmes and England cricketer Kevin Pieterson.
