LOCOG Chair Seb Coe said: ‘The penultimate day of the Olympic Torch Relay is set to include many of London’s iconic landmarks which are famous around the world and give the city its special character. I hope that the people from these Boroughs come out and line the streets to cheer on the Torchbearers as the start of the Games draws near.’

Iconic landmarks

The first Torchbearer of the day will begin from the Roundhouse in Camden before the Flame takes a journey along the Regents Canal on a barge. It will then visit a number of London landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral and Shakespeare’s Globe, as well as the giant Olympic Rings at St Pancras International.

At the end of the day there will be an Olympic Torch Relay Finale concert in Hyde Park headlined by award-winning rapper Dizzee Rascal. Towards the end of the eight-hour show, the last Torchbearer of the day will light a celebration cauldron on stage at the event, enabling the Olympic Flame to be seen by the audience.
