A police force has refused to name an ex-officer charged with stealing £113,000 from its headquarters. Warwickshire Police claimed a "change in po...
Leyton Orient have started a legal fight to have the decision to allow West Ham to move into the Olympic Stadium struck out, owner Barry Hearn said. ...
The London 2012 Olympic Games didn't take place in Stratford. Perhaps this was something you cottoned on to quite some time ago. Or perhaps you didn't then, nor now, give a shit. Either way, as a local resident living in the shadow of the athlete's village, I'm still waiting.
Even though I live only 5 miles from the Olympic Park, so far I've been determined to ignore the whole spectacle and bask in the sun in my garden with a glass of cold beer. However, as a confirmed foodie, I can't ignore the fact that some of Britain's top supper clubs, along with a few gourmet chefs, are staging a fantastic banqueting experience which changes every night during London2012.
As someone covering the Olympics, nothing could be more boring than everything going so well that Boris Johnson being stuck on a zip-line managed to make the front pages as some kind of massive cock-up.
A store overlooking the Olympic Park has begun charging customers for the privilege of looking out of its main viewing window. The John Lewis store...
I have been intrigued by the media articles showing distraught West End shop keepers and restaurateurs bemoaning the Olympics for emptying their emporia of customers. It seems that the promise of economic prosperity for all driven by the magic Olympic rings has evaporated as quickly as Mark Cavendish's medal hopes. Or has it?
Jessica Ennis stormed to victory in the last heptathlon heat of the 100m hurdles, posting the fastest time for a heptathlete in 100m hurdles and break...
Shop owners on Leyton High Road, a typical east London high street, had high expectations in the months leading up to the Olympic Games. Sitting i...
Britain was bleak in these austere days and the end of all food rationing was still a year away. Stratford was a smokey, dirty place, full of railway and industry, much of which poisoned the air with unpleasant smells. British theatre, and the drama it supported was staid and conservative.
The London 2012 opening ceremony's moving spectacle has, for the time being at least, acted as a harbinger for Britons to appreciate magnitude of the ...
To be honest, the Olympics really scare me. And I actually mean it. The thought of the Olympics fills me with nothing but dread and a queasy sense of claustrophobia... Just how bad is it going to get, folks?
Rehearsal footage of the Olympic opening ceremony was removed from YouTube on Wednesday as organisers stepped up efforts to keep details of tomorrow's...
David Cameron has said every effort will be made to ensure mistakes such as last night's Olympic flag mix-up never happen again. The Prime Minister...
I want to build a new Olympics, to take the best of the games I first fell in love with and have the sticker album to prove it and reimagine what they could still become. Why we should be asking has no such alternative, to date, been offered?
The first time London hosted an Olympic opening ceremony – in 1908 – organisers probably had an easier job keeping the details secret. But in 2...
Would you Adam and Eve it? ATM machines with a Cockney language option are being installed for visitors to the Olympics. They will be placed on and...

A man was stabbed to death today at a busy shopping centre just yards from the Olympic Park, police said. A fight broke out involving a large group...
Plans for a London Formula One Grand Prix on a track running in and around the Olympic Stadium is among the bids being considered for London 2012’s ...
A city that is proud of its heritage should surely want to invite international guests and media to a part of London that they could be proud of without erecting a vast and impersonal shopping village and well positioned architectural devices to ensure that the unsuspecting eye, at no point, ever lands on Stratford itself. God forbid the French got a look at Poundland!
Five pedestrians have been injured after a car crashed into a shop front in Stratford-upon-Avon. Police and ambulance crews were called to reports ...
The shrill of a ringing bell carries a number of connotations. With this being a piece on London 2012, it could be a hackneyed reference to a city waking up to the dawn of a new beginning come July. It could even be more on-the-nose with some reference to Big Ben chiming welcoming tones to the arriving world...
There's no doubt this crackdown is putting workers in danger - there's a risk that it could result in deaths of vulnerable women and men. This surely isn't an Olympic legacy we want for London.
MPs today expressed concern that the London 2012 Olympics may go over budget and said it was "staggering" that initial estimates about security costs ...
