The 2012 Olympics and Paralympics in London will be based on an Olympic zone around Stratford in east London - promising the biggest regeneration of England's capital since the Victorian era.

But the Games - which were confirmed as being in London at an IOC vote on 6 July - will see beach volleyball in Horse Guards Parade, football at Wembley and gymnastics in the Millennium Dome.

The BBC Sport's venue map shows the main options being proposed by bid leader Sebastian Coe and his team. Just click on the icons for more details.
