Olympic Torch Relay route announced

The full route for the Olympic Torch Relay has been unveiled.
The Olympic Flame will be lit at Wembley Arena Square at 10.30am on 6 April. It will pass through ten London boroughs and reach a grand finale planned for the Greenwich Peninsula.
In the morning, torchbearers will carry the flame through a carnival staged at Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill Gate. At mid-day it will appear on an open-top bus along Oxford Street. It will then pass the British Museum, Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square.
At 1.30pm, the torch will arrive at the Southbank Centre. It will be welcomed by a choir, hip-hop and beatboxing acts along the front terraces of the Royal Festival Hall.
At 2.30pm on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral, the Band of the Scots Guards will welcome the flame with fanfares and music.
The flame will then head on to Stratford via Whitechapel Road. It will reach Canary Wharf at 5pm to be greeted by carnival themed entertainment.
At 6pm, a grand finale featuring a performance by the Sugababes will take place at the O2 on the Greenwich Peninsula.
The Wembley and Greenwich events will be attended by 2000 people. Free tickets will be released in the week prior to the event.
