First London 2012 Venue Opens

With less than one month to go until the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Main Press Centre (MPC) has been officially opened.

The Olympic Park venue will host up to 6,000 accredited press and photographic media during the Games.

It will provide 31,000 square metres of office space across four floors of workspace for journalists, photographers, accredited non-rights holding broadcasters, as well as International Olympic Committee and London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) staff.

LOCOG Chair Seb Coe said: "Like the athletes competing at London 2012, the world’s writers and photographers who will be based in the MPC are at the top of their profession. We will offer them state of the art facilities so they can tell the extraordinary stories that will come out of the Games.

"This is our first venue to open for business and we are ready to welcome the world’s media as they come and set up their office."

The MPC will be open for 52 days across the Games, becoming a ‘home from home’ for the world's media with state-of-the-art facilities.
