Lasting legacy for Londoners before the Games begin
David, ODA Chief Executive
I was at an event this morning at the site of the new Stratford City shopping centre development with the Mayor of London. Boris unveiled a clock counting down to the opening of the centre in March 2011 - 912 days from now:

Almost £1.5bn of private sector investment is going into the scheme, which will create one of the largest shopping centres in Europe. It is a huge vote of confidence in the London 2012 Games and shows how the Games are a catalyst for lasting regeneration in east London. The shopping centre will create thousands of jobs and be at the heart of the new community around the Olympic Park. With the massive transport upgrades, this area will become one of the best connected parts of the capital.

They are making great progress with the construction and the project shows very clearly how a lasting legacy will be delivered for Londoners even before the Games have started.
