London 2012 Olympics – Where To Watch

The Olympic Triathlon at the iconic Hyde Park is just around the corner. How will you be watching?

Triathlon was one of London 2012’s first events to sell out in the initial public application process, however there are still plenty of ways to watch our British Triathletes.

1. If you want to be in on the action there are still a number of places available for free-to-view spectators. British Triathlon recommend the following spectator points:

• There are many places around the Serpentine which are not ticketed and provide the perfect vantage point for the Olympic Triathlon
• The Wellington Arch / Hyde Park Corner
• Buckingham Palace  (Green Park Tube is the best access)
• South side of Serpentine Bridge (access onto the bridge will not be possible during the event)
• The Lido
• Hercules Monument
• South Carriage Drive and Inside the park at Knightsbridge, southern access from South Kensington, Knightsbridge tube stations
• Northern access to the park via Marble Arch tube

You can plan your Journey to Hyde Park using the London 2012 Olympic Games Journey Planner to find the best route to Hyde Park.

The London 2012 site also has information on the nearest transport links, bike parking and accessibility information around the venue.

2. If your not able to get to Hyde park, there are a number of cities showing the Triathlon on big screens. Here is a current list of live sites that will bring you the action from Hyde Park.

3. Alternatively, If you prefer to watch the triathlon from the comfort of your own home, there will be unriveled coverage of the Olympic Triathlon events on the BBC.
